History[]

The strip of land from Aksa Beach to Marve used to be one of many islands that lay off the Salsette west coast. These islands seem to have remained separate till as late as 1808. At the time of writing of the old Gazetteer of Thana in 1882, these islands could be reached during low tides by walking across the tidal inlets in between.[3]

Fishing at Marve Beach[]

This is a good spot for fishing. You will find local boys with strings in hand. They use bait like shells, shrimp and earthworms to lure fish into their hooks. Its a good pass time and hobby. All you need is a string, hook, some bait (wheat flour, earthworm, shells, prawn) and patience. You can go home with some fresh fish and feeling happy.[4]
