Marina Beach



Marina Beach is a beach stretching over 13 kilometres along the Chennai coast. It is an extremely popular spot. Indians really love beaches but not at all in the same way we, Westeners, do. They love to come here to sit and discuss, walk around, play cricket, flying kites, buying fish directly from the fishermen or any other products, consulting a fortune teller, anything really but not really to swim. The currents are also pretty bad anyway and not exactly suitable for an enjoyable bath. As anywhere in Indian urban places the crowds are amazing mainly because of their numbers.
