The Chowpatty Beach, which is also hear Marine Drive, is associated with the famous Dandi March - an agitation that was launched to protest the salt tax imposed by the British. Since Gandhi had forbidden women from accompanying hini on the Dandi March to Sabarmati, thousands of women in Bombay led by the freedom fighters Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay and the Captain sisters, decided to make salt at Chowpatty Beach and at the saline marshes in Wadala. Kasturba Gandhi, K F Nariman, and Yusil Meheraully were the other torchbearers of the salt movement.
The beach is located in the suburb of Dadar and it is a perfect place for Jogging. In order to witness the sunset and sunrise Dadar Chowpatty is an ideal location.
