Versova (ISO: Varsovā, pronounced [ʋəɾsoːʋaː]) is an upmarket neighbourhood in north-western Mumbai.

[1] Versova, originally named Vesave, is a small fishing village of the Kolis, situated to the north of the old Mumbai city.

The Portuguese constructed the Our Lady of Health Church in Versova, and a number of Kolis converted to Christianity during this period.

Shores of the Versova creek area are surrounded by flourishing Mangroves which support different kinds of marine life, especially molluscs, crabs and fish.

[6] In October 2015, Afroz Shah, a young lawyer and environmentalist in Mumbai moved into the area and along with Harbansh Mathur, an 84-year-old who has since died, began efforts to clean up the beach.

[8] In 2016, Shah was honoured with the "Champion of the Earth" award by the United Nations Environment Programme in recognition of his vision and hard work.
