I do not know what the world's longest beach is, but it isn't Copacabana in Rio. Copacabana in only 4 km long.
This is often mentioned in tourist guides etc. made in Chennai, but according to other Wikipedia articles this is not true.
120 km long beach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoxsBazar
90 km long beach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach
88 km long beach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety_Mile_Beach%2C_New_Zealand
18 km long beach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patara_Beach
etcetera. I'm sorry for the Chennaiites, but it's nonsense to refer to marina beach as the longest or second longest beach in the world.
You should also consider:
254 km long beach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praia_do_Cassino
I think this is really the one!!
203.196.167.245 08:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC) There are several explored and unexplored islands, which would have a stretch of over 100 Kms. I understand that the length of the beach is not the stretch, but the distance of the mean water level from the start of the beach. It is therefore measured perpendicular to the coastline. That is what makes Marina beach the second longest beach in the world
[19th Sep 2007] That is precisely correct. It is the length of the beach (more than 1/2km) and not the length of coast line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.106.103.250 ( talk) 21:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
initially before the construction of the madras port, the sea was very near to the beach road but it is not so now.why if any one can answer my question piz mail to my address.9bharan_psg@yahoo.co.in

How long is the beach - 13 or 4.5 kms? I think it might be the second largest beach. It is so often claimed so, can this be verified? - 155.69.5.234 05:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I have just removed these two pics from the article. 1) The photos are really harsh and are of poor technical quality. 2) No encyc value whatsoever. Can we please have some nice photos of the beach instead of waves/sun/sand. The marina is all about the crowd and atmosphere -- PlaneMad| YakYak 18:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Apart from the image in infobox and the panorama, there are about 37 pictures. Do these many images required, eventhough commons category is placed in EL section? I think 10 -15 images will be fine. Otherwise it seems to mirror like a mix of wikipedia and wikivoyage. -- βα£α( ᶀᶅᶖᵵᵶ) 22:25, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

@ Ronherry:. That the Marina is the world's second longest is a bit dubious. The next question that arises is "in terms of what?" At 13 km, it's undoubtedly the longest urban beach in the country. However, worldwide there are several beaches that are several tens of kilometers long, including Cox Bazar, Ninety Mile Beach (there are two in this namesake), Praia do Cassino Beach, Long Beach, Virginia Beach, South Padre Island, and Playa Novillero, to name a few. Even if it is the world's second longest urban beach, I don't find any source that lists Marina along with the the longest urban beach. Moreover, most of these sources aren't statistical but only of travelogue kind. We need to find a better source yet. Rasnaboy ( talk) 11:44, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
