See and do

  • Covelong Beach. It is separated from the mainland by the canal running from Chennai to Mamallapuram. A small public beach can also be accessed through a narrow drivable road. This beach is still mostly used by fishermen but gets crowded on weekends. (updated Jun 2023)
  • Covelong Fort. A fort built by the Nawab of Carnatic, Saadat Ali. It was here that the French General Labourdonnais landed his troops in 1746. Later it was taken by Robert Clive in 1752 and destroyed. (updated Jun 2023)
