Marina Beach

       Marina Beach second longest urban beach in the world is in Chennai.....WOW....i am in chennai and staying near to "The SECOND LONGEST NATURAL URBAN BEACH IN THE WORLD".
       I wanted to visit that palace as soon as possible. I woke up in the morning, called my local friend , and told him i wanna visit Marina Beach. He said go in the evening, the days are very hot in chennai. I was excited as  i am going to see one of the rarest things in the world.
       I going there in the evening so i decided to do the most important thing of my life """SLEEP".

      The evening has arrived , i got ready and went out of my hotel. I asked the hotel receptionist about the route to Marina Beach. They suggested me to go and take auto from peter's raod.
      

   As i said earlier that it is the longest beach in the country, i have to decide where to go on marina beach.
So i asked an auto rikhshaw guy he suggested that Mahatma Gandhi Silai (Statue) will be near from peter's road.
   Then we had to make an very important decision before starting our journey i.e. to fix the fare. The discussion went on for some time and it ended in favor of auto rikshaw  guy. So we are on the way to Mahatma Gandhi Statue, Marina beach. The auto guy said its 5 km from peter's road.

 I reached near the statue in the evening and was able to see huge sea in front of me. It was a week day , so there was not much crowd but the moment was lively. As i moved towards the Sea , i started feeling the breeze. It is a beautiful view.

I removed my slippers and went with my naked feet in water. I saw it had no boundary , where ever your eyes go you can see water.

For the first time i am near to the end of land of my country. It gave me an immense pleasure, when the waves came and hit may foot.

I saw above towards the sky and i was able to see aeroplane flying over the sea. There was a wave of birds in the sky which were flying towards the land in a specific formation.

I felt like i am dreaming. Suddenly, a vendor came near me with Sundal (a dish) and asked me to buy. I said no, but he was not ready to leave me. It took some time to convince him that i am not his customer. I looked around and saw a beautiful horse.

  For horse riding they charged me 100 rupees , but it was worth riding that horse on a beach. Then there were many shops selling fishes near the beach. They said the fishes will be tasty over there.I took one and ate it watching the sea water. Then i went back near war and sat on the sand.
  I never realized that the time has flown faster watching this natures beauty. I was late in the evening and sun was setting in the water.

  Lot of memories has flown through my head today watching the sea. I enjoyed it , it was a new kind of joy. I got up went towards the road, took and  auto back to my place. I had my dinner in same saravana bhavan ,and went to sleep again.

  2. Hi
    Marina Beach is a natural urban beach in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, along the Bay of Bengal. The beach runs from near Fort St. George in the north to Foreshore Estate in the south, a distance of 6.0 km (3.7 mi), making it the longest natural urban beach in the country. The Marina is primarily sandy, unlike the short, rocky formations that make up the Juhu Beach in Mumbai. The average width of the beach is 300 m (980 ft)[6] and the width at the widest stretch is 437 m (1,434 ft). Bathing and swimming at the Marina Beach are legally prohibited because of the dangers, as the undercurrent is very turbulent. It is one of the most crowded beaches in the country and attracts about 30,000 visitors a day during weekdays and 50,000 visitors a day during the weekends and on holidays. During summer months, about 15,000 to 20,000 people visit the beach daily

  3. Hi
    The Marina beach was famed for its pristine beauty, jolly ambiance, and rich ecosystems. However, since the middle of the 20th century, the beach and water have become polluted.Proliferation of plastic bags, human waste, and other pollutants have rendered many parts of the beach unusable. In recent years, many voluntary organisations have taken up the task of cleaning up the Marina and protecting the ecosystem. Particular efforts include protection of olive ridley turtle nests along the Neelankarai section of the beach.
