Discover what makes this destination truly special
Gorai Beach offers a distinct coastal experience compared to the more frequented beaches within Mumbai's city limits. Located on a peninsula in the northwestern part of the city, reaching it involves a short and enjoyable ferry ride from Borivali or Marve, which sets a different pace for the visit. The beach itself has darker, blackish sand and a more rustic feel, backed by lines of casuarina trees and the local Gorai village. The atmosphere here is generally more relaxed and less commercial, attracting families and groups looking for a simple day out.

The beach is a public space and is always open. However, for safety, it's best to visit between sunrise and sunset. The ferry services from Borivali typically run from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM but timings can be subject to change based on weather and tides.
Entry to the beach is free for all. However, you must pay for the ferry ride to get there. The passenger ferry from Gorai Jetty (Borivali) costs around ₹100 for a round trip. Parking at the jetty is also chargeable.
