The several accommodation facilities near the beach provide ample opportunities for an overnight stay and one could especially enjoy the early morning sunrise or late evening sunset from the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gorai beach is also popular as a party venue among many youngsters. The shacks available for staying are reasonable and the sand at the beach is relatively clean for enjoying a game of sand volleyball or flying Frisbees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gorai is so near to Manori, and this beach offers the countryside feeling to visitors. Although, the waters of Gorai beach are safe for swimming throughout the year, it is advised to avoid during monsoon because of its treacherous currents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tourists can reach Marve within an hour, as it is just 40 km from Mumbai. One goes up to Malad railway station (a suburban station on the Western Railway line) and proceed by road. A 15-minute ferry ride from Marve or Borivali will take one to Manori or Gorai. It is approachable by boat as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_info\"><\/span>Location info:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:15-minute ferry ride from Marve<\/strong><strong>District: Borivali<\/strong><strong>Nearest City: Mumbai<\/strong><strong>Best time to visit: Any time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ClimateWeather\"><\/span><strong>Climate\/Weather:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History\"><\/span>History:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gorai has a large East Indian population. East Indians are Roman Catholic who were proselytised by the Portuguese when they arrived here in the 1500s. They speak Marathi as their mother tongue.
