Marina Beach stretches for 13 kilometres along the eastern shoreline of Chennai, making it the world’s second longest urban beach. Located in the Chennai capital of Tamil Nadu in India, often searched under the Chennai country name, this vast sandy expanse defines the coastal identity of the Chennai city name once known as Chennai Madras. The beach functions as a constant social space where fishing communities head out at dawn, joggers trace the shoreline, families picnic on the sand, and vendors sell sundal and sliced mango. Political gatherings and public events also unfold along the wide promenade. Key landmarks line the stretch, including the Lighthouse with public access, the Gandhi statue, the MG Ramachandran memorial, and Vivekananda House. Strong undercurrents make swimming unsafe, so visitors experience Marina best through long, breezy walks.
What makes this place special
The 45 metre lighthouse features an elevator to the top and remains the only operational lighthouse in India that allows public entry to its viewing deck, offering sweeping views of Chennai’s coastline.

From 5 PM onward, the promenade fills with thousands of residents, and clear Chennai directions lead crowds toward food stalls, horse rides, and the lively sound of children playing cricket against the sea breeze.
