Playa Chowpatty - Mumbai, India

While Mumbai may be an impressively busy city, it does boast a beach - and Playa Chowpatty is extremely popular with locals looking for a little breathing space. However, there's no doubt about the fact that its popularity has waned over the years, especially as the area has become more and more contaminated. This is largely due to the fact that Playa Chowpatty is a popular place for festival celebrations.

Instead of being cleaned up, this beach seems to get dirtier and dirtier, with garbage sitting everywhere. Because of this, tourists are encouraged to stay away from the beach and avoid the water at all costs.
