Aksa Beach

Located a little on the outskirts of the city in Malad, Aksa Beach is an unparalleled oasis for a rejuvenating retreat from the hustle bustle of the city traffic. The beach, no doubt, owes most of its fame to the song ‘Tujhe Aksa Beach ghuma du’ from the hot shot Bollywood movie but is lately becoming a choicest pick among tourists seeking tranquility and peace from the mainstream chowpattis in Bombay. The mesmerising coastline is one of the longest in the city and offers an extremely vivid and surreal panorama of the merging horizon ahead. The beach is still untouched by the city crowds and hence maintains its natural charm apart from being immaculately clean.

Known for its pristine and unblemished beauty, the beach is frequented by families and couples alike. The strong tides and currents keep shifting and hence, it is prohibited to go too far in the waters for a swim. However, the tiny eateries make up for that, and you don’t miss out on a lot. You can munch on a helping of chana jhol garam and enjoy a quiet evening saunter on the enchanting seashore Dotted with quaint little cottages and luxury resorts, this place makes for an ideal getaway from the everyday monotonous lifestyle.
