It could be reached during low tides by walking across the tidal inlet. Juhu was called `` Juvem '' by the Portuguese. At its north point, nestled the village of Juhu, inhabited by Bhandaris ( toddy tappers ), Agris ( salt traders ) and Kulbis ( cultivators ) and at its south point, opposite Bandra island, lived a small colony of fisher folk and cultivators ( Koliwada ). The inhabitants of Juhu were mainly East Indians and there was a small section of Goans. The Church of St. Joseph was built by the Portuguese in 1853. The open beaches of Juhu have attracted the well - heeled and the most affluent among Mumbai 's population for almost a century. In the 1890s, Jamsetji Tata purchased land on Juhu and built a bungalow there. He planned to develop 1200 acres ( 5 km2 ) in Juhu Tara. This was to yield 500 plots of one acre ( 4,000 m2 ) each and a seaside resort. Simultaneously he wanted to extend the Mahim Causeway to Santacruz, to access to this area. After his death in 1904, the scheme was abandoned. With the dawn of aviation in the 20th century, the Bombay Flying Club commenced operations in 1929 at what eventually became the present Juhu Aerodrome. During the freedom struggle Mahatma Gandhi visited Mumbai and took many walks at Juhu Beach. There is a famous photograph of Gandhiji poking his grandson Kanaa during a walk at Juhu Beach, Bombay, 1937. To mark Gandhi 's visit in Juhu, there is famous statue of Gandhi by the beach and a lane towards the beach call Gandhigram Road. There is also a Gandhi Shiksha Bhavan school in Juhu. In the 1970s, Bhaktivedanta Swami ( Srila Prabhupada ) started the Hare Krishna Movement and built ISKCON Temple, giving Juhu its global recognition. He also gave various philosophical and spiritual discourses and wrote many books here. His lectures on Bhagavat Samkhya ( S.B 3.26 ) given in ISKCON Juhu has become an important source for research especially in the field of Quantum Mechanics. ( 1 ) ( 2 ) Climate Juhu enjoys a uniform climate throughout the year. In summers the maximum temperature reaches 35 ° C and the minimum temperature is 25 ° C. The weather is pleasant in winter. Monsoons prevail from mid June to September, when it rains quite heavily. Juhu Beach Juhu Beach is located on the shores of the Arabian Sea. It stretches for six kilometres up to Versova. It is a popular tourist attraction throughout the year and is also a sought after destination for shooting films. The beach generally gets more crowded on weekends and public holidays. The food court at its main entrance is famous for its ' Mumbai style ' street food, notably bhelpuri, pani puri and sevpuri. Horse - pulled carriages offer joyrides to tourists for a small fee while acrobats, dancing monkeys, cricket matches, toy sellers vie for tourist 's attention. The beach is among the most popular sites in the city for the annual Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations where thousands of devotees arrive in grand processions, carrying idols of the Lord Ganesh of various sizes, to be immersed in the water at the beach. Juhu Beach is also a popular spot for planespotting as a portion of it lies underneath the departure path from Runway 09 and occasionally, the arrival path from Runway 27 of Mumbai Airport.
