Madh Island, Island complex with Portuguese fort in Mumbai, India

Located 30 kilometers from Mumbai between the Arabian Sea and Malad Creek, Madh Island features multiple fishing villages, farmlands, and beaches.

The Portuguese constructed Madh Fort in the 17th century to guard Marve Creek, which later fell to Maratha forces in February 1739.

The island population includes Kolis, Marathi people, East Indians, Roman Catholics, and Muslims, maintaining traditional fishing and farming practices.

Visitors can reach the island through bus service from Malad, autorickshaws, or a five-minute ferry ride from Versova at Rs. 5 per person.

The island contains several film studios and shooting locations frequently used in Bollywood productions, with many film stars arriving via the jetty.
