A trip to Marina Beach, Chennai. Indian beaches are very different to what we have in Europe. From what I've experienced they seem to be more like hangout spots, especially around late afternoon / early evening. The experience is more like a cross between a fairground and an Asian night market with many food stalls, vendors selling all kinds of inexpensive items and lots of carnival games.
I've never been much of a beach person and certainly have never found the appeal of sunbathing. I'd be bored in 5 minutes. At an Indian beach however, nobody is sunbathing. In fact nobody is even swimming in the sea. Everyone is fully clothed, with some rolling up their trouser legs to dip their feet in the ocean. They are there to spend time with their friends or bring their kids to eat some pani puri and ride the merry-go-round.
This beach can attract more than 50,000 people visitors per day and most of them are welcoming to foreigners so you could never be bored walking around there. Always someone to talk to and relative to the number of visitors, the beach is quite clean. Not sure about the water though.
I wish I'd spent more time at this beach but I was already tired and with a full stomach when I got there, just before sunset. I'll return one day and do it more justice with a 1 hour vlog, that I'm sure I'll have no problem filling with fun content.
