Nettukuppam Beach,
Chennai
Nettukuppam Beach is situated at almost northern-most tip of
Chennai; Nettukuppam enjoys the solitary symphony with the clean sea water and
cool breezes. Mostly deserted and not being visited much by the
people except the locals, If you are a photography-buff, this place is for
you.
The beach offers a vantage point from where one can enjoy the
contemporary and former history of the city. It does not only offer the
historical perspective but also, one can see the geographical differences
over the period.
Nettukuppam Pier or the broken bridge is the famous spot for the
locals to sit there enjoy the spray of the water waves that hit the piers of
the bridge.
Absence of fast-food vendors and many visitors except on
weekends make the beach spotless and the water is also cleaner compared to
other beaches of Chennai.
It offers a good view of Ennore Thermal power station, Ennore
creek and other natural sights including modern city buildings and the
subsiding away from the city. It is not advisable to go there to see the
sunrise because tides are usually very high.
Nearest railway
station: Ennore (3 Kms), local trains to
Ennore are available from Chennai beach and Chennai Central stations.
