I will describe about a place, that is named as Marin Drive, Which is a skillfully laid-out boulevard in South Mumbai. It is actually an upturned 'C'-shaped six lane concrete road, which lengthens to 3 km along the coastline - a natural bay. This avenue connects Nariman Point with Malabar Hills. What draws attention to this avenue is the striking esplanade next to the road, where scores of people come to breathe fresh air and view sunset. Palm trees are lined up along the road, presenting a picturesque view and nice walkway to take a stroll. The buildings down the road embrace many hotels and are home to many celebrities. Indeed, there is a row of art deco buildings that were built by wealthy Parsis during early 1920's. Bombay just follows Miami (USA) in its number of art deco buildings along the waterfront. At nights, Marine Drive looks stunning illuminated, with lights and if seen from some elevated point beside the road, it appears like a necklace with streetlights resembling a string of pearls. Attributable to its extravagant loveliness, it is also known as Queen's Necklace. Marine Drive has also been acclaimed as the world's largest viewing gallery that hosts various events.
