It is situated along the southern stretch of the Marina Beach.[2] The proposed Marina Business centre commercial complex on 25 acre land at Foreshore Estate in Chennai, is planned to develop by the State Government of Tamil Nadu.[3]
It is one of the primary sites in the city for the immersion of the Ganesh (Vinayaka) idols during the annual Ganesh festival.[4] The idols are first paraded down South Marina Beach (Kamaraj Salai) before being brought to Foreshore Estate for immersion in the sea.
