7) Covelong Beach:

How is it fair to go on a trip along the beach’s coast and not visit the beach? Chennai is known for its beaches. But on ECR, we have the Covelong beach, which is originally called Kovalam beach. This beach is famous for Surfing, Parasailing, Boating and the Fishing. Visitors can also rent a motor boat to enjoy the magnificent beach.  It was initially established as a port by the Saadat Ali for Carnatic Nawabs which was later occupied by the French in 1746 and ruined by Britishers in 1752. It is a must visit to be captivated with its crystal clear blue water, peaceful ambiance and surreal beauty.

The surfing school called ‘Surf Turf’ provides surfing lessons and also act as a restaurant and hotel. The surf school offers everything from surf boards and basic surfing gear to rent/buy, along with qualified instructors to teach you how to surf.  They’ve got a whole bunch of sea sports. Try your hand at windsurfing, kayaking, catamaran rides, and even fishing, or hang out at their beautiful café, and they even have rooms that operate as a Bed & Breakfast.
