Bangalore: Juhu Beach is one of the most popular and attractive beaches which is situated on the shores of Arabian Sea in Juhu suburb, in the city of Mumbai. It is one of the excellent places to view beautiful sunsets as the sight of sun sinking into the vast sea is a gorgeous one.

On weekends, the beach is crowded with people from different regions of the country. During this time diverse beach entertainments such as dancing monkeys, cricket matches and acrobats can be enjoyed. Vendors selling T-shirts, cute little Indian dolls made from seashells etc is a common scene on the beach.

The beach is also famous for tasty street food like bhelpuri, pani puri, chaats and Pav bhaji. Apart from this, many luxury hotels and apartments are situated on the southern side of the beach.
