The other end of the seafront<br> Sightseeing in Tamil Nadu picture - promenade along Goubert Salai (previously known as Beach Road). The city's 2km long seawall, first completed by the French in 1735, reaches a height of 27 feet above sea level & protects the city against the sea. The seawall itself is protected from the direct onslaught of the waves by rows of granite boulders which are reinforced every year to stop erosion.
