Colourful sea sponges, different types of snails and sea anemones, hermit crabs that use seashells as homes, and even corals. You can expect to find all these beautiful creatures at a blue, coastal destination, but they’re right here, at the watery, concretised edge of Mumbai city. At this bustling urban jungle’s doorstep, lies an entire forgotten marine world.
Join us for a shore walk that will introduce you to a side of Mumbai that you’ve probably never seen before.
A little distance from Bandra Bandstand lies a rocky shore full of hidden gems, revealed by the retreating tide. A walk at Bandstand yields many surprises, including octopus, anemone, brittle star, molluscs, sponges and even the occasional starfish.
