November 14th Shorewalk at Carter Road

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.

A little distance from Carter Road, Bandra lies a rocky shore full of hidden gems, revealed by the retreating tide. A walk at Carter Road yields many surprises, including brittle stars, anemone, molluscs, sponges and even the occasional octopus.
