Which is the longest beach in India?
Appeared in: BSF Staff Nurse - 2015
Explanation
- Marina Beach, located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is the longest beach in India.
- It stretches for about 13 kilometers (8.1 miles) along the coast of the Bay of Bengal.
- It is recognized as the longest natural urban beach in India and the second-longest in the world.
- The beach is a major tourist attraction known for its sandy expanse, sunrise views, and various recreational activities.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: Kanyakumari beach is famous for its unique location at the confluence of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean (Triveni Sangam), but it is not the longest beach in India.
- Option C: Kovalam Beach in Kerala is a world-renowned beach famous for its three adjacent crescent-shaped beaches separated by rocky outcroppings. Its total length is significantly less than Marina Beach.
- Option D: Silver Beach, located in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, is another scenic beach but is much shorter than Marina Beach. It is a popular local spot for recreation and water sports.
