Versova Beach, Public beach in Versova, Mumbai, India
The 2.5-kilometer sandy beach stretches along the Arabian Sea coastline, featuring dark sand and multiple access points from the surrounding residential areas.
The beach remained heavily polluted until 2015 when lawyer Afroz Shah initiated a community cleanup project that removed over 13 million kilograms of debris.
Local residents gather at the beach during weekends for community-led environmental activities, including regular cleaning sessions and marine conservation education.
Nine creeks flow into the sea near Versova Beach, with Malad Creek contributing approximately seventy percent of the incoming waste materials.
The successful beach rehabilitation enabled Olive Ridley sea turtles to return and establish nests on the southern section after decades of absence.
