Mandwa Beach — Attraction in undefined

The ferry ride from Gateway of India takes travellers till Mandwa jetty, the popular carriers are Ajanta (non A/c), PNC and Maldaar (Air conditioned) We availed PNC carrier to reach Mandwa jetty. Supposedly the tickets for the same can be purchased from the counter. Unfortunately, the ferry tickets were not available at the counter as due to heavy rush they were unable to determine the no. of tickets (???, could have been possible as per no. of seats available in the carrier). There was a long que for Ajanta ferry leaving every half and hour. While we were in the que there was a frantic call that PNC is scheduled to arrive soon. Many travellers rushed to the specified site ant after about 45 minutes the PNC ferry left the shores of Gateway of India. The experience was alright, the carrier had good seating arrangement in the lower deck and the passengers could climb upto upper deck if they so desired. While returning from Mandwa jetty due to time constraints we took Ajanta ferry, which takes longer time to reach as compared to PNBC carrier. The ferry was open unlike PNC carrier but it had its own advantages as you can absorb the sight in a much better way. Overall it is quite enjoyable ride in both the carriers. The Mandwa beach is beautiful dotted with good restaurants and resorts. I feel it is a better idea to stay in one of the resorts for a couple of days rather than just...

Even though this beach is connected to the Mandawa Ferry Jetty, it remains a hidden gem—secluded and peaceful, with very few crowds. This makes it perfect for long, undisturbed walks and soaking in the mesmerizing sunset. You can also indulge in a few water sports for an added thrill.

Since there are no food stalls on the beach, you’ll need to head to the Jetty for essentials like water, cold drinks, and snacks. One of the best parts of this experience is driving down at night and reaching the Jetty by 9 PM. You can park your car outside and take a leisurely walk into the Jetty, enjoying the serene waterfront.

Right by the bay, there’s a Starbucks, a delightful Fountain Sizzlers restaurant offering delicious meals, and an ice cream parlor for a sweet treat. You’ll also find a small shop selling water, chips, chocolates, and other basics. Sitting by the bay, watching the illuminated coastline, is an unforgettable sight.

The floodlights turn off by 10 PM, marking the perfect time for a peaceful stroll back before heading out. With ample parking and a safe, tranquil atmosphere, the Jetty is one of my favorite places to spend an evening—it’s an experience you’ll keep coming...
