Overview
Nestled along the Andheri coast, Versova Beach offers a more peaceful and less crowded alternative to its bustling neighbor, Juhu Beach. This charming beach is part of a traditional fishing village, inhabited by the Koli community, and is a hub for vibrant fish markets and daily auctions. The beach is small but incredibly picturesque, surrounded by large rock boulders that protect the village from the sea's tides.
Versova's natural beauty, especially its serene horizons and quiet atmosphere, makes it a favorite spot for photographers, especially at sunrise and sunset. Visitors can also indulge in various activities such as snorkeling, cycling, and horseback riding. The beach comes alive during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, when grand celebrations attract thousands of tourists.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Versova Beach is from September to March when the weather is cooler and more pleasant. The summer months can be quite hot and humid.
How to Reach
Versova Beach is easily accessible by Versova Station on the Western Line, just a short 1 km walk away. Alternatively, you can take a state-run bus or hire a taxi for a more convenient ride from your accommodation.
Enjoy a relaxing visit to this tranquil beach, perfect for families and those looking to escape the crowds.
