3Juhu Beach, Mumbai, India

Why It’s the Worst: Highly polluted and heavily crowded.
Juhu Beach in Mumbai is one of the city’s most famous beaches but has a reputation for severe pollution.

Due to its location near one of India’s busiest cities, the beach suffers from trash buildup, especially after heavy rains when garbage washes ashore. Despite efforts to keep it clean, Juhu Beach is often filled with litter and waste, making it unappealing for anyone seeking a peaceful day by the sea. Crowds flock here in large numbers, adding to the congestion and creating a noisy environment.

What to Expect: Trash scattered along the shore, a lot of people, and a lack of clean facilities for visitors.
