The new renovation is wonderful! The open gym is good too! But the way to go reach this place is slightly tricky. The place has a foul smell always because of fishermen boats and garbage from the sea. Its less crowded in the mornings. I think the place is absolutely safe cause its right behind the mahim causeway police station.

I saw Awful condition of Mahim Fort now. The bitter truth is its not considered as Fort rather its known as Mahim Fort Society. People had created their residence around Fort in such a way that no one came to know that there was existence of any Fort. I dont know is it legal or Illegal.Somewhere we are loosing our Heritage.You can see walls of Fort from Sea side but from city no one can know whether we have such Fort in this locality.I think we should take some measures to prevent our such Heritage.

This fort is not fort anymore. Locals have constructed their houses and use whole place as they want. Some of them use fort and surrounding place for their business. Whenever you visit this place youll find heavily construction on it and its not open for anyone to see from inside. Sea facing protection wall of fort is destroyed and not in good condition. Garbage is everywhere. Im giving 1 start just because of fort is still standing with new construction and cant give 0 😂.

The Mahim Fort (Marathi: माहीम किल्ला) is a fort in Mahim in Mumbai, Maharashtra state, India. Strategically located in the Mahim Bay, the fort overlooks Worli to the south, Bandra to the north, and Mahim to the east. The origins of the fort are unclear, but it occupies a strategic location that has been frequently contested. The fort is currently in disrepair, suffering from administrative neglect, encroachment of slums, and exposure to tidal erosion.In 1516, Portuguese commander Dom Joao de Monoy entered the Mahim Creek and defeated the commander of Mahim fort. The fort was the site of frequent skirmishes between the Portuguese and the Ali Shah, a Gujarati ruler, before the island of Mahim was appropriated from Bahadur Shah of Gujarat by the Portuguese in 1534. In 1661, the Portuguese ceded the island of Mahim as dowry to Charles II of England. After the English gained control of the fort, it was strengthened by Sir Thomas Grantham in 1684,[2] and became a strategic watchtower against possible Portuguese attacks, and later from the Marathas.In 1772, the Portuguese attempted to attack this fort, but they were repelled by the British with cannonballs.The Mount Marys Basilica was damaged during this encounter. According to historical accounts, the fort had 100 soldiers and 30 cannons at that time.The fort was captured by the British during the First Anglo-Maratha War.

Over View and Personal experience of the visit:I was expecting much to see with my family, the hope was crashed. Nothing here just slum areas and nothing to much notice here, Take my Advice and dont go here. It’s better to go to some other places which really have some forts to see. Mahim Fort is just in the name not in Action.Advice would be to Government Authorities need to see to this and preserve historical places in better conditions as The fort is currently in disrepair, suffering from administrative neglect, encroachment of slums, and exposure to tidal erosion.

There is nothing left which can be termed as fort!Entire fort area is encroached by local Muslims. Dur to Mahim darga, muslim population is dense. Even the main entrance was also occupied.At some area, we can see fortification wall. From slightly away from fort, wall facing sea can be seen.This is all external thing.Internally nothing! Only and only occupied houses.

One of the richest place in mumbai wrt history. It has great history thread behind.In 1516, Portuguese commander Dom Joao de Monoy entered the Mahim Creek and defeated the commander of Mahim fort.[3] The fort was the site of frequent skirmishes between the Portuguese and the Ali Shah, a Gujarati ruler, before the island of Mahim was appropriated from Bahadur Shah of Gujarat by the Portuguese in 1534.

As per its ancient history Mahim fort must be rated in 5stars.. but lukng at its present condition am giving it 2 stars.. Request to our Government to empty the illegal crowd in Mahim Fort .. As they r building room on room in the fort which is our ancient heritage. Shock to see such people migrating in fort. What were the government officials doing wen this crowd migrated in the fort for residence.. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Very old place. Mumbai is a largest city in india. Here sea beach is beautiful & nature is best. So it is touriest spot. Mumbai sea beach is paved by havy concrete. It is touriest attraction place. Many many people are coming here everyday. Arab sea is near to road & city. Taxi is available all time. Have an many item shop & hotel to near the beach. It is Entertainment & peaceful place. Mumbai is best place for tour.
