Some of the sites around town

A wonderful view of the swamp next to the hotel.  Last year two fishermen were eaten by crocks in it

"The accessibility to the Dargah is very much dependent on the tides. As, the causeway is not bound by railings, when the causeway gets submerged during the tides high tides it becomes inaccessible. Therefore, the dargah is accessible only during low tide. This walk on the causeway, with the sea on both sides, is one of the highlights of a trip to the shrine." - Looking at it from a distance, I would say the walk would be the only thing of interest.

The slum next to my hotel - a nice view down into it.  It looks like one of the more up and coming slums

The Gateway of India built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Bombay, in December 1911. Unfortunately the British king and Queen only got to see a cardboard model of the structure as construction did not begin till 1915 - Typical for India
