Lining the
east of the city is the famous Marina beach, at
Kamarajar Road, 3 Km away from Chennai. This is
supposed to be the second longest beach in the World
and runs to a length of 13 Km.

On the beach there is
the Anna Park, named after the founder of D.M.K (Dravida
Munnetta Kazhakam) Anna durai and the tomb of M.G.
Ramachandran who was a film star and the charismatic
Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and the Statue of
Labour is a splendid sculpture depicting the efforts
of a team of labourers who are at hard manual labour.

The beach can
be ideally visited in the early mornings or in the
late evenings when the area becomes a virtual
ground; with food stalls and other entertainments. |
