About MARINA BEACH


Marina Beach is the largest urban beach in India, and one of the longest in Asia. The drive along the beach, which runs the length of Chennai, is recommended for its numerous monuments. The beach itself is lined with street sellers, hawkers, joggers, and entertainers, and is usually packed with people trying to escape the city.

            Try to make it to the Sunday morning fish market on Marina Beach. Shopping amongst the locals and trying to bargain like one will give you an excellent taste of what living in Chennai encompasses.
