Kottivakkam Beach — Attraction in Tamil Nadu

Whispers of Kottivakkam Beach

Where dawn’s gold fingers kiss the shore, Kottivakkam dreams with a tranquil roar. Waves hum softly to the rising sun, Promising peace when the day’s begun.

A canvas of sand, so clean, so wide, Where laughter of children dances with the tide. The breeze carries tales from Valmiki’s land, Of poets and seashells and footprints in sand.

Weekends bring footsteps, a lively crowd, Chatter and joy rising clear and loud. Yet dawn and dusk know a gentler rhyme, Whispering poems to the pulse of time.

Nearby, the scent of street food calls, From cozy stalls and bustling malls. And if dreams of retreat begin to grow, Resorts await where soft winds blow.

So stay awhile where the shore feels new, With skies of silver and endless blue. For here, beneath the sun’s soft speech, The sea writes poems only...

Come witness the sound of halting boats and breeze from the sea as you complete your cardio walk and run. People also walk on the acupuncture massage footpath available. Do not worry about a place to sit. I don't remember seeing a public restroom but I...

Probably one of the cleaner beaches I have visited in Chennai. It is in the outskirts and do attract regular walkers/joggers. However unlike Marina or Eliot's beach, the visitors are residents close to the beach. I believe the residential member community who take care of the beach and surrounding area is quite effective. The list displays some prominent personalities in Chennai. The beach is relatively cleaner. I was surprised to find shells large and small in more than average quantities. I found 2 very good things ;1- There was water kept for the public. This will significantly reduce plastic bottle and sachet waste. 2- hardly any food stalls (atleast in the morning), this is one significantly amazing achievement. One of the highest contributor to filth is...
