Manori is known for its beach and the Manori Creek. The closest railway station is Malad. The island is dominated by the local fishing community (kolis) and fishing is the main stream of income for the locals although it is a very famous weekend picnic destination for many mumbaikars and is increasingly becoming a tourist hotspot. There are 2 beautiful ashrams of the spiritual masters of Nath Sampradaya - Swami Gagangiri Maharaj and his disciple Swami Gagananand Maharaj. There is a Shiv temple (Samudreshwar) bang at the entrance of Manori islands.
