Marina Beach

Meet Chennai at the water’s edge: a broad sandy shore, a morning walk and the city waking up around you. Follow the coast with a detour into Mylapore’s lanes.

Local tip

Make this a shore-side walk. Start early for softer light, then explore the breakfast and filter-coffee stops in the Chennai guide.
