Pondy Marina Beach
Pondy Marina Beach located along the scenic East Coast Road near the New Port area, Pondy Marina Beach is one of Pondicherry’s newest and most vibrant beachfronts, designed to be a modern, family-friendly hangout spot. Opened in recent years, it has quickly become popular among both locals and tourists for its clean shore, colorful lights, and relaxed vibe.
Unlike the quieter Promenade Beach, Pondy Marina is designed as a recreational space, complete with street food stalls, seafood trucks, kids’ play areas, selfie zones, seating spaces, and walking paths. The beach is especially lively in the evenings with LED light decorations and musical fountains.
The location also promotes sustainable tourism, with solar lights, dustbins, and dedicated parking spaces. Visitors can enjoy sea breeze walks, taste local snacks, or just sit and watch the waves under palm lights — a perfect chill-out spot for groups and families.
