Akkarai Beach is a quieter stretch of Chennai's coastline south of the city, running from Uthandi towards the outskirts. It's a good alternative for visitors looking for something less crowded than Marina or Elliot's Beach.
With nicely constructed walkers' paths,convenient seats, adequate lighting, lush green areas and children's playgrounds proposed for select beaches initially, there is more to look forward to when you clock in some time for fitness.
