Marina Beach is a natural urban beach in the city of Chennai (Madras), India, along the Bay of Bengal.[1] The beach runs from near Fort St. 
George in the north to Foreshore Estate in the south, a distance of 6.0 km (3.7 mi),[2] making it the longest natural urban beach in the country and one of the world's longest beach ranking with 1.[3][4][5] The Marina is primarily sandy, unlike the short, rocky formations that make up the Juhu Beach in Mumbai. The average width of the beach is 300 m (980 ft)[6] and the width at the widest stretch is 437 m (1,434 ft).
