Detail InformationEdit

Promenade Beach was once the most popular beach in Pondicherry, and a delight to both tourists and locals alike. The Promenade is on Beach Road (also known as Goubert Avenue), one of the main boulevards’s of the town, and runs along the shore for 1.5 km. The entire heritage town is within walking distance of the Promenade. This beach can be accessed from the Chunnambar Resort. Flanked by an estuary on one side, the beach can only be accessed by boat. Its shallow waters and small waves make it a popular place for swimming. Much of this long stretch of beach has been lost to erosion caused by the construction of groynes along the coast to the south. It is also heavily used by local fishermen, who require what remains of the beach to launch their traditional catamarans.
