Beaches in Tamilnadu
 Marina
Beach : One of
the longest in the world, the beach has a wide expanse of glistening
golden sands. The area fronting the beach is beautiful landscaped.
Worthy of special mention is a group of bronze figures by the
renowned Indian sculptor, Debi Prosad Rai Chaudhari, eulogizing the
'Dignity of Labour'. These apart, the beach-front offers some
splendid examples of Indo-Saracenic architecture such as the Madras
University, the Chepauk Palace and the Presidency College.
Muttukkadu : A Backwater and estuary, Muttukkadu is ideal for
rides on motorized boats or
for wind surfing. Hire a pedal boat or a row boat for cruising
leisurely. Muttukkadu is ideally suited for angling and fishing.
Kanyakumari : India's Land's End. Kanyakumari or Cape Comorin
is unique in being surrounded by three seas, the bay of Bengal, the
Indian Ocean and the Arabian sea, and the confluence is called 'Thriveni
Sangamam'. Here one can get a breath-taking view of the Sunrise and
Sunset at their best. The multicoloured sand is yet another unique
feature of the beach here. Kanyakumari is a famous pilgrim centre,
too.
