Ditch Marine Drive’s endless crowd for some sea breeze at other spots. The sun’s efforts to melt you away may be mighty. Still, mornings or evenings in a sea-facing park will make summer bearable with the sea breeze. Enjoy a sunset solo, an evening stroll, or reclaim some calm that’s rare due to the city’s pace.

Hinduja Park, Mahim
This elevated garden in Mahim is a local secret. Perched right at the sea next to Hinduja Hospital, it gives you uninterrupted views of the Mahim Bay and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. It’s quiet, clean, and even has a gazebo to sit and catch up with a friend.
