Marina Beach

Chennai’s Marina Beach isn’t just a stretch of sand—it’s the emotional heartbeat of the city. Running along the Bay of Bengal, it’s one of the longest urban beaches in the world, where early risers walk alongside fishermen, families gather for evening breezes, and street vendors serve hot sundal and crispy bajji. The golden shoreline comes alive at sunrise and sunset, offering a calm escape from the city’s rush. More than a tourist spot, Marina Beach is where Chennai pauses, breathes, and connects with its coastal soul.
