About Juhu Beach
Six kilometres of sand in the western suburbs, Juhu is less about swimming (don't) and more about the evening scene: families, cricket games, camel and horse rides, and the legendary rows of food stalls serving pav bhaji, bhelpuri and gola. It is also Bollywood's front garden, several stars' bungalows line the beach road.
Tips
- The food stalls near the Juhu Chowpatty end are the ones to try, go where the crowd is
- Sunset over the sea is the reason to come; arrive 45 minutes before
- ISKCON temple and Prithvi Theatre are both within walking distance
