My next adventure: TBC

Day 2.5 (Chennai) – Marina Beach

One of the main draws to Chennai is Marina Beach which faces the Bay of Bengal and what better way to experience it than at sunset. From prior research, one had discovered that a wooden walkway had been erected a few years ago to allow wheelchair users to access the waters edge (one of the first in India I believe) hence it was necessary to check out!

The road running parallel to Marina Beach has plenty of parking and is fairly quiet (for a change) bar the occasional tuk tuk or motorcycle…

One can also park fairly close to said walkway…

Along the wooden walkway, there are several points from which one can marvel at the scale of Marina Beach…

Unlike many walkways or boardwalks in the UK, one can actually roll pretty close to the waters edge…

This enables you to fully capture that famous sunset…

The plan for tomorrow is to head slightly outside Chennai to visit Mahabalipuram, an UNESCO Heritage site dating back to the 7th and 8th century. All of this is possible thanks to The Swarga Foundation…
