Marina Beach in Chennai is one of the world’s longest urban beaches, famous for its sunrises and sunsets, walking and jogging paths, and local snack stalls. Key attractions include statues of Tamil leaders, an aquarium, and a lighthouse with city views. Activities like horse riding and kite flying are popular. Nearby sites include Santhome Cathedral Basilica, Parthasarathy Temple, and Anna Memorial. Accessible by public transport, the beach has lifeguards but swimming is discouraged due to strong currents. It’s a cultural hub for locals and visitors, though cleanliness efforts are ongoing.
