Marina Beach



Marina Beach,the pride of Chennai, is the second largest beach in the world. The beach extends from Fort St. George all the way to Mahabalipuram. The beach looks spectacular at dusk when the setting sun casts iridescent glow and peddlers sell everything from ice creams to roasted peanuts to balloons. You can also read your future from the fortune tellers and palm readers who lure the visitors by various means. Don't try to show your swimming skills here as the sea can get quite rough here. On the sea- front, lie memorials dedicated to political leaders and freedom fighters. The Aquarium, Light House and Boulevard of Walks, gardens and drives make the beach one of the best attractions of the city. It looks like a festive ground on weekend evenings.
