It is embanked by one of the largest masonry dams in the world, built in 1892. The embankment is nearly 2 m. long, 118 ft. high, and 110 ft. thick at the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salsette Island is included in Maharashtra state and lies on the western coast of India. The metropolis of Mumbai and the city of Thane lie on Salsette Island, making it the 14th most populous island in the world.The present Salsette Island was formerly made up of several smaller islands, which were combined together during the 19th and early 20th centuries to form a single island. It is surrounded on the north by Vasai Creek, on the northeast by the Ulhas River, on the east by Thane Creek and Bombay Harbour, and on the south and west by the Arabian Sea.<\/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:&nbsp;<\/strong>Salsette Island,Mumbai,India.<strong>District:&nbsp;<\/strong>Thane.<strong>Nearest City:&nbsp;<\/strong>Mumbai.<strong>Best time to visit:&nbsp;<\/strong>Oct to April.<\/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<p>Climate is subtropical,with mild winters and warm summers.<\/p>\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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting_things_to_do\"><\/span>Interesting things to do:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boating and water scooters at Essel World the amusement park at Masunda Talao, Water Kingdom next door, and Water World near Virar with slides, splashes, swimming pool and disco are ideal family getaways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting_things_to_Visit\"><\/span>Interesting things to Visit:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Juhu Beach:<\/strong><br>Juhu Beach is the most famous beach in Mumbai city.
