Salsette Island is an island in Konkan division of the state of Maharashtra, on India's west coast. Administratively known as Greater Mumbai, the city district of Mumbai, Mumbai Suburban district, Mira Bhayander, and a portion of Thane lie within it, making it very populous and one of the most densely populated islands in the world. It has a population of more than 20 million inhabitants, living on an area of about 619 square kilometres (239 sq mi).

Salsette is bounded on the north by Vasai Creek, on the northeast by the Ulhas River, on the east by Thane Creek and Mumbai Harbour, and on the south and west by the Arabian Sea. The original seven islands of Mumbai, which were merged by land reclamation during the 19th and early 20th centuries to form the city of Mumbai, are now practically a southward protruding peninsula of the much larger Salsette Island.

(1) Dahisar, (19°15′ N,72°52′ E; 30‐130 m asl);
(2) Damupada, (19°12′ N, 72°52′ E; 55‐65 m asl);
(3) Kurar, (19°11′ N, 72°52′ E; 20‐40 m asl);
(4) Pathanwadi (19°10′ N, 72°52′ E; 30‐50 m asl);
(5) Amboli (19°08′ N, 72°50′ E).

Local quarry workers reported that in two exceptional cases, the cavities in the Pathanwadi quarry were large enough for a man to stand inside.
