Cross Island

Cross Island, locally known as Chinal Tekdi, located on the Mumbai harbor, between Dockyard Road and Elephanta Island. The place has vast beauty and a scattered population. There is not so much urbanization on the island except some oil refinery, several large gas holders, and stunning ruined forts. If you want to visit the place, you have to take a ferry from Ferry Wharf, or you can also take a speed boat.Most of the major part of the island is covered with a ruined fort, which is very famous for its spooky stories, and used as a film set for horror movies. The island is not so populated, and most of the people here are fishing folks, and fishing is the primary profession here. Apart from this, if you want to know more about the island, you can take a ferry boat tour by local fishermen.
