A Sandy Stretch South o Marina Beach

Jun 2017 • Friends

The Beach is situated exactly behind the Santhome Cathedral and the Portuguese landed here when they came to the Coast of Chennai. The Sea Breeze setsin around 1530 to 1600 hours everyday and most of the residents and tourists rrelax by the seaside on the sands of this beach.

Vendor sell 'Sundal' made from dry peas garnished with shreds of coconut and mango and is a must eat.

During Summer Weekends this beach serves as a good meeting place, The Sea is very rough here and tourists are not permitted to swim in the choppy waters.

An actual Catholic cathedral in India - I honestly wouldn't have expected it. It's still in use, too - we actually just went to look around, but there was a service starting do we sat for a few minutes and listened. The architecture is beautiful and the inside sanctuary was amazing. Definitely worth a visit.
