There are also many monkeys on the island. A statue of Shiva, one of the three great Hindu gods, is also located here.

 Marine Road

Mumbai Coastal Road is a very pleasant place, especially with its night view. People walk along the long beach and play sports. While luxury houses and luxurious villas are located on the shores near the sea, misery is rampant in the background.
