Musical walk along Marina Beach, Chennai tickets

About this place

(Timings flexible. Get in touch to see if we can provide the experience at a timing of your choice.) The Marina Beach is one of the longest natural urban beaches of the world. We will be walking its promenade, stepping in and out of the shoreline and stopping to take in the magnificence of the statues adorning the walkway. The promenade along Marina Beach is dotted with more than 10 statues on the beach side and faces heritage buildings and institutions of prominence on the other side of the Kamaraj Salai (road). The statues include those of historical importance and icons of Tamil literature, Indians and foreigners — Mahakavi Bharathiyar, Thiruvalluvar, G.U. Pope, Mahatma Gandhi, and Subhas Chandra Bose, to name a few. Starting from the Triumph of Labour statue, we will walk the (less than) 3 km stretch towards the Lighthouse at a gentle pace, taking in the sights and sounds. While Ganesh will be explaining the claim to fame of the various people now carved in stone, Amritha will be bringing some of them to life through musical renditions of some of their more popular works. We will end our walk outside the Lighthouse, climbing which offers stunning, rich views of the vibrant shoreline. (Visits to the Lighthouse are subject to its opening hours.) Based on your choice, this walk can be done at various time slots through the day. We would suggest slots closer to sunrise, as lesser vehicular traffic affords a better environment to listen to the songs performed. Seeing the sunrise, of course, is a bonus. A walk along the shores and the promenade is one of the must-do activities for a visitor to the city. Great views and atmosphere aside, the place lets you soak in the culture and history of this wonderful city. This experience takes care of the walk along the promenade. You can choose to head over to the shoreline after the experience.
