As a coastal city, Bombay has a whole lot of beaches along its western coast. However, most of the beaches are polluted, and are unfit for swimming. Here are the beaches listed from south to north.
Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra and the most populous Indian city.
The name was officially changed from Bombay to Mumbai in 1995, but the former name is still popularly used in the West and by many of the city's inhabitants and famous institutions.
In the late 1970s, Bombay witnessed a construction boom with the significant increase in population due to the influx of migrants.
An unbroken four-mile (7km) crescent of sun-drenched sand marks the twin beaches of Candolin and Calangute, north of Panjim and the Aguada headland.
Sinquerim beach has clean, white sand, and is close to the historic Fort Aguada, the early 17th century Portuguese fort that was built by the Portuguese to control the entry into River Mandovi and to protect old Goa from enemy attack.
Arambol Beach is near the traditional fishing village of Arambol and is an isolated stretch of beach known for its rocky and sandy terrain.
