Foods at Marina beach:

This beach has plenty of food options. Fruit salads, fish fries, local sweets, hot and cold drinks are pretty common at this beach area. But I personally suggest you to try the local sweets made of coconut and the famous sukku coffee.

Best Time to Visit Marina Beach:

The best time to visit Chennai and it’s stunning Marina beach is from November to February as during these months the weather of the city is pleasant.

In a day, morning is the best time to visit the Marina beach. If you walk by the sea line in the morning, the cool breeze from the sea and the pleasant atmosphere will greet you.

How to reach Marina Beach if you are in Chennai:

As the Marina beach is a travel hot spot of Chennai, you do not have to be worried to reach there. You can hire any local cab or taxi to see the beach or else you can also take a bus to reach there. Chennai has very good government bus service and you won’t have any problem in reaching the beach area.
