Gawk at the many Indo-Saracenic buildings spread across this long stretch. Morning and evening walks are perfect to catch just a little sun and while doing so you can spot the many lovely buildings and be amazed at the Colonial-style architecture — from University of Madras’ Senate House to Presidency College and Fort St George and more. You can even find statues in honour of Mahatma Gandhi and memorials of politicians like MGR and Annadurai. So get a dose of history and culture the next time you head to this beach.
