Early morning traffic on the roads is almost close to a nightmare, so why not spend your mornings by the serene Bay of Bengal instead? Take a quick jog or walk along the longest natural urban beach in the country, the Marina Beach, and breathe in some fresh albeit salty air. If taking a walk or jogging is not your thing, you can cycle along on the promenade that leads to the lighthouse as well. The beach houses 14 harmonious landscaped galleries dotting its span, in the form of small theatre-type galleries where you can sit and relax after your morning walk. You can also have your very own picnic on the beach a little later in the evening once the sun has set. You can do the same on other beaches around the city as well, like Elliots Beach and Thiruvanmiyur Beach.
