An Evening On Marina Beach
Marina Beach, Chennai: Evening Visit Guide and Street Food
Sea breeze, sundal stalls and the lighthouse — why Chennai's long beach is best after sunset.
Marina Beach is where all of Chennai seems to go once the heat fades. Families walk along the sand, kids fly kites and small stalls sell sundal, murukku and roasted corn.
Tips from our visit
- Go after 5 pm — the afternoon sun is harsh.
- The sea here has strong currents; enjoy the waves from the shore.
- Combine it with a walk to the Chennai Lighthouse and Santhome Church nearby.
