Leisure & Entertainment Activities At Marina Beach
Marina beach is located on the eastern side of Chennai, adjoining the Bay of Bengal.
Watching the sun set and rise from the beach is a fascinating experience. Though bathing and
swimming can be dangerous, as the undercurrent is very strong, even then people come for
swimming here. In the evenings, the beach is virtually a fair ground with various kinds of
entertainment and food stalls lining the beach.
With its natural sandy beauty and spacious promenade and beautiful gardens, the Marina beach
is a major attraction for tourists visiting Chennai. One can even shop around the beach,
with local vendors hawking wares ranging from shell and glass baubles to kites and fruit
juices. The Marina, however, is large enough to accommodate all visitors as well as the
hawkers and is often the venue for important state functions. There are also facilities of
pony rides at the beach site, which attract the children's interest the most.
