Pondy Marina leaves tourists asking for facilities
The Hindu
Safe access to the most sought-after tourist spot, proper lighting, setting up of a police outpost are the primary demands
Pondy Marina, the theme-based beach near the Light House at Dubrayapet, is slowly emerging as one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the town.
The sandy beach stretching to around 2 km has the potential to attract more tourists but regular visitors, especially city residents who throng the leisure spot on weekends, believe that the government should step in to provide safe access to the place and better amenities.
Many complain that the roads, one starting at the Electricity Department office and the other a narrow lane in between Indira Gandhi Sports Complex and Petit Seminaire School at Uppalam, connecting Pondy Marina and town, are unsafe all through the day, not to speak of night hours.
