As a
continuation of Juhu Beach, Versova Beach is separated by a
creek. With splendorous Arabian Sea lunging on its sandy
shore, Versova Beach is an ultimate fun destination. It is
also home to Mumbai's largest fishing community - the Koils.
You may plan a trip to Versova Beach at practically anytime,
however we advice you to make a trip between September and
May, when the humidity is low and the cool see breeze gives
a pleasant respite from the general heat and grime of the
city life.
Among the most fascinating scenes of Versova Beach is the
time when fishermen are ready to barge into the Sea to get
their first catch, all armed with their fishing nets and
lines. The whole ambience gives a surreal feel and can tempt
you to go take some snaps of such magical moments. And of
course if you are among those who love fishes, then buying
fishes could be a great shopping experience as well, with
the first catch for your taste buds.
The Arabian Sea on Versova Beach could be slightly dangerous
too, since it forms treacherous whirlpools that can suck
fishing boats and trawlers. So it's better to be aware while
planning to go swimming in the Sea. During High tides the
whole of Versova Beach gets submerged.
When in Versova Beach you could plan various other
destinations that are equally fulfilling in what they offer.
There is Juhu Beach that is another hot fun lovers
destination. When in Juhu you could visit ISKCON temple and
get some faith healing.
