Kovalam Beach in Chennai is a place to visit if you need some solitude away from the frenzy city life.The beach can be reached riding along the ECR and looks quite different from other beaches.A faint smell of fishes and salt emanates on your road to the beach.The first thing that amuses you is the shallow waters of the sea and the sand is visible through the water.You can't resist your temptation to go out for a swim.I would recommend not to try that for some reason.This is one place where you can see the fishermen start their journey in to the sea and return back to the shore live and exclusive.You feel so close to the action.A good thing about this beach is that you get good fresh fish.The fishes are sold immediately after catch for affordable prices and attractive bids.They go right from the net in to your bag.A huge variety of fishes will be available and you can be assured that they are fresh.The waters look extremely beautiful and romantic which gives you the feeling that you are very close to nature.
A special thing here is that it has a Mosque en-route to the beach which looks great and a lot of people visit here daily.Moving closer to the beach you will find a Hindu Temple to purify yourself from your worldly sins.Thats India for you! We have unity in diversity.People of different religion live in Harmony here.
Atlast you can prepare yourself for a photograph session on the very few rocks on the shore with the waters kissing them frequently.Take care because some may be slippery.You would also find some abandoned wooden boats to take some pictures.This one is for those artistic ones.I think lovers will like this place much more than others.
Whatever been said there is something about this place which you would feel only after visiting this place.I reckon this beach is worth a visit atleast once in your lifetime.
