Beaches of Tamil Nadu


Your beach vacation won’t be complete without visiting the beaches of Tamilnadu, India's last coastal destination for rides on motor boat or wind surfing. The beaches of Tamilnadu have got a charm of their own. This southernmost state of India is adorned with the finest beaches of the world. 

Marina Beach :
One must visit to the second longest beach in the world, Marina Beach. Do not miss the fantastic joyride along vast stretches of sand lashed by the Bay of Bengal. The perfect place for relaxation and sun bathing, Marina Beach is now a favourite and shooting location for international and domestic tourists alike.

Mamallapuram Beach :
Golden sand, good surfing opportunities and shimmering clear blue sea water is enough to lure a beach lover to this place. 58 Kms from Chennai, Once a port and the second capital of the Pallava Dynasty, Mamallapuram flourished during 7th- 8th centuries. The monuments of Pallava, the proto type of the Dravidian Temple Architecture, lure every visitor to this town. The monuments, scooped out of natural rocks are of monolithic type. Mamallapuram has been declared by United Nations as one of the world Heritage centres. The Dance Festival from December to February is highly acclaimed. One of the monuments - Arjuna's penance - stands as a back drop for the stage. For over 1500 years this small town has awakened to the tune of hardened steel on stone as its craftsmen begin a new day. The pristine glory of the 8th century temple adds splendour to the beach here.

Other important beaches of Tamilnadu include Rameshwaram beach, Kanniyakumari beach, Covelong beach and Elliot’s Beach.
