Vanyavani Wildlife Festival Shorewalk at Haji Ali

Colourful sea sponges, different types of snails and sea anemones, hermit crabs that use seashells as homes, and even corals. You can expect to find all these beautiful creatures at a blue, coastal destination, but they’re right here, at the watery, concretised edge of Mumbai city. At this bustling urban jungle’s doorstep, lies an entire forgotten marine world.

From huge colonies of sea anemones to hermit crabs, worms that use plastic and others, this popular rocky shore has plenty of sights to see and some impressive stories about the city's marine life to tell.
