Poompuhar Beach
Poompuhar Beach in Mayiladuthurai, Tamil Nadu, is a natural and historic beach along the Bay of Bengal, stretching about 3 kilometers from the mouth of the Kaveri River northwards towards Neithavasal. It is part of the ancient port city of Poompuhar (also known as Kaveripoom Pattinam), which was once the capital of the early Chola kings and a significant maritime trade center.
The beach features black sand and recently had granite stone placements along the shore to prevent erosion. Poompuhar Beach is culturally important, hosting festivals like Chitra Pournami, where people gather to take holy dips. Nearby attractions include the Silappathikaram Art Gallery, which showcases the region's rich history and Sangam literature heritage.
Though the beach is scenic, it has faced some challenges like strong waves, rocky areas, and maintenance issues.
