Good place. Best view.should restrict the people from carrying plastics and other eatable items inside the beach area. The sea is highly polluted and unfit for bathing. This beach is dotted with many tourist places around and the best time to visit is in the evenings. It can be accessed from any parts of the Chennai city. Hotels/ Accommodation is available in Triplicane and Mylapore areas. Safety is a concern as the sea is rough, dirty and no protective gears if you are venturing into the sea for swimming. Very good place. Iam Happy

We came here around noon on a hot, sunny day. There are stalls at the beach but very few were opened for business during or visit. The story might be different later in the afternoon where more of them would be open and there would be more customers. There are other attractions to visit here, statues to see and identify, temples to visit, etc.

A beach with a long and fantastic coastline. many memorials and associated exhibits. Large number and types of vendors and hawkers. Good place for an evening outing, especially for the Indian public space ambience.

This has become one of my regular visit places either with the family or friends. I also love to visit this place when i feel very low and tired it gives me good vibes. I can sit here ideally for hours in the evening to feel better

Not a very happening beach. Few stalls. Metro Rail work going on. Not many people ventured into the waters. Waves kissed the beach and people relished these touch their feet. Most of the people were just sitting by the side simply witnessing the waves come and subside back.

A resident of Chennai since birth, Marina Beach has been the most comfortable and refreshing place to visit on weekends and summer holidays for decades. The beach has evolved over the years and caters to people from all walks of life. If you are visiting Chennai for the first time, its a must go to place to enjoy the real Chennai. Apart from visiting the waters, there are so many activities for adults and children. There is a rich variety of food stalls serving traditional South Indian foods and snacks, finger foods from both South and North India, local branded icecreams , Indianised version of hot Chinese food and snacks, sliced raw mangoes and pineapple served with red chilli powder, corn cooked over charcoal, batter fried potato brinjal and onion served with traditional chutneys and other amazing snacks. They also have many amusement rides for children and adults and infants. Visit in the evenings (preferably after 4 pm or sunset)t o see the city come to life.
