for swimming here. |

diginity of labour). |

Activities at Marina Beach |

the evenings, the beach is virtually
a fair ground with various kinds of
entertainment and food stalls lining
the beach. It has acquired a South Indian
aura with vendors hawking wares ranging
from shell and glass baubles to kites
and fruit juices. The Marina, however,
is large enough to accommodate all visitors
as well as the hawkers and is often
the venue for important state functions. |
