Covelong
Covelong is a nice
beach between Madras(Chennai)
and Mahabalipuram and a small charming fishing settlement. It
was originally a port built by Saadat Ali, Nawab of Carnatic and it was here
that the French General Laboudonnais landed his troops in 1746. Later taken by
Clive in 1752 and destroyed. The Beach is separated from the mainland by the
canal running from Madras(Chennai) to Mahabalipuram. The Fisherman's Cove Resort
with rooms in the main buildings and cottages and the sandy beach here is the
ideal place to stay. An hours drive from Madras city or from the
airport.
