A pet friendly place. Spacious with a great view. We enjoyed our time with our dogs. It’s best to go early morning. There are many stray dogs close to the gate and they bark a lot however once you are in they keep to themselves.

Bandra Fort, also known as Castella de Aguada is located in the western suburb of Bandra, in Mumbai. It was built by the Portuguese in the year 1640 AD to serve as a watchtower overlooking Mahim Bay to the south, the Arabian Sea to the west. The fort's picturesque location and historic charm make it a go-to place for locals as well as tourists. There is nothing much left worth seeing in the name of the fort. You can see ramnants like arches, walls and stone stairs, as much was demolished by the Britishers. The place offers panoramic views of the Worli sea link and Mahim bay. Don't miss the sunset view to capture iconic shots. This spot has been featured in many Bollywood movies and web series. Entry is free, and visitors can explore the fort daily from 6 AM to 6:30 PM. Definitely, you will love the Land ends of Bandra !!!

Perched at the edge of Land’s End, the Castella de Aguada, colloquially known as Bandra Fort, serves as a poignant stone sentinel whispering tales of a bygone Portuguese era. This 17th-century fortification is less a display of military opulence and more a masterclass in melancholic architectural decay, offering a stark, weathered contrast to the soaring, modern engineering of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link that frames its horizon.The experience of traversing its stepped terraces is fundamentally liminal it is the precise intersection where Mumbai’s relentless urban sprawl yields to the rhythmic, brine-soaked pulse of the Arabian Sea. While the granite bastions have been softened by centuries of salt-air erosion, they provide an unparalleled vantage point for observing the city’s chiaroscuro at twilight. The fort is a sanctuary for the contemplative soul; it is where the frantic pace of the metropolis is silenced by the vastness of the ocean. However,the site’s allure is occasionally marred by the inevitable pressures of over-tourism and the encroaching traces of modern neglect. To visit is to engage in a delicate temporal paradox: standing atop colonial ruins while gazing at a futuristic skyline. It remains an essential pilgrimage for those seeking to understand the dualities of Mumbai a city that is simultaneously obsessed with its future yet inextricably anchored to its rugged, maritime past.

The Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link looks stunning especially during sunset. This spot has been featured in many Bollywood movies and web series. The place is clean, well-maintained, and offers stunning views of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the Arabian Sea. It's not as crowded as other tourist spots in Mumbai, which gives it a peaceful vibe. Perfect for a leisurely walk, photography, or just enjoying the view. You can get down through the stones near the water. The view is lovely. Near to this fort SRK’s house is their “MANNAT”. This place is quite costly and besides fort TAJ Hotel is there. . I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and scenic spot in Mumbai. Some shops sell snacks, Maggie, cool drinks and tea outside the main gate of the fort.

Nice fort with a wonderful beachside. There is also a small park present there. The view of Bandra-Worli sealink is best from here.

Bandstand is one of the best places in Bandra to enjoy the Arabian Sea view. Clean walking track, cool breeze, and great atmosphere. Highly recommended for visitors.

Bandra Fort is a lovely old fort located right by the sea, close to the Sea Link. I came here for the first time and was really impressed. From the base itself, you get a beautiful view of the ocean — but once you go up to the fort, the view becomes even more amazing. The Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link looks stunning from here, especially during sunset. This spot has been featured in many Bollywood movies and web series, and when you stand there, you understand why. The calm breeze, sound of the waves, and wide-open sea — it just feels peaceful. There’s also a small garden-like area developed around the fort, which is clean and adds to the experience. Families, couples, and even photographers come here just to enjoy the vibe. However, I noticed there’s some construction happening in the sea now — another bridge is being built. Once that’s completed, the clear open sea view from here might not be the same again. So if you want to enjoy this place in its full charm — now is the time to visit.
