7 Chowpatty Beach – Mumbai, India
Chowpatty Beach is India’s leading beach, yet it may be one of the world’s most polluted. Each year, thousands of Mumbai residents gather on the beach to commemorate the Hindu holiday of Ganesha Chaturthi, and it is customary to wash their Lord Ganapati idols in the water. However, because the seas and beaches are so filthy, the odds of catching anything here are quite high.
