Marina Beach, Chennai
Stretching along the Bay of Bengal, Marina Beach in Chennai is not just a scenic coastal spot—it’s the longest beach in India and the second-longest in the world. This nearly 12 km sandy stretch runs from Beasant Nagar in the south to Fort St. George in the north, making it one of the city's most iconic landmarks. While swimming isn’t allowed due to strong undercurrents, there are still plenty of things to do in Marina Beach. Enjoy a peaceful walk with ocean views, ride the merry-go-round, play a round of giant chess, or explore the many statues honouring national figures like Mahatma Gandhi.
