Marina
Beach is
a
natural urban
beach in
the
city
of Chennai (Madras),
India,
along
the Bay
of
Bengal.[1] 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),[2] making
it
the
longest
natural
urban
beach
in
the
country
and
one
of
the
world's
longest
beach
ranking
with

Marina
is
primarily
sandy,

short,
rocky

up
the Juhu

the
beach
is
300 m
(980 ft)[6]and

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[7] and
50,000
visitors
a
day
during
the
weekends
and
on
holidays.[8][9][10] During
summer
months,
about
1,50,000
to
2,00,000
people
visit
the
beach
daily.[11]
