south and in the satellite town of Mammalapuram. The beaches of
Chennai feature great many attractions and as such are visited by a
good number of foreign as well as domestic tourists.
The beaches of Chennai, Covelong and Marina are ideal for surfing
and swimming. These beaches are visited by all sorts of people and
primarily constitute the family beaches in Chennai. The beach fronts
are often inhabited by the fishermen community whose presence
sometimes adds color to the scene. The silhouette appearance of the
