Marine Drive Beach

Marine Drive Beach is a broad sandy stretch along the Ganges connecting Rishikesh to Shivpuri, named for its scenic riverside road that traces the river's course through forested hills. It serves as a popular launch and landing point for multi-day rafting expeditions and is lined with riverside campsites during the rafting season. The beach itself offers a relaxed setting for bonfire evenings, stargazing, and early morning Ganga views. Travellers often combine a stay here with rafting, trekking, and bungee jumping at nearby sites.
