Attractive and longest beach. Review on Marina Beach, Chennai

This is the second longest beach on the planet with roughly 13 KMs length. This beach is ideal for only family and large groups of friends. Definitely not suitable for lovers and couples who want to spend time in peace. There are lots of important sites located in and around marina beach. They are,

• Madras University,

  
  




• Tamil Nadu secretariat complex,

  
  




• Dr. M.G.R memorial,

  
  




• Anna memorial,

  
  




• Light house

  
  

Ideal time to visit this beach is evening times and early morning times to take a look at sunrise from the sea. There are hundreds of tiny shops that make ideal for families to buy sea shell products and eateries like bajji shops etc.

The light house is made accessible for people till evening 6 from last year at a ticket cost of just 30(not sure about the current ticket price). Para gliding is introduced recently. It is easily accessible by train as well as bus. Thiruvallikeni is the nearest railway station.
