About

Marine ward encompasses a stretch of the coastal belt along the Arabian Sea. The area is primarily defined by its shoreline, which includes beaches like the main Chunnambar Beach. This beachfront is a central feature, with a long promenade and views of the sea. The geography is flat and sandy, with the backwaters of the Chunnambar River bordering parts of the area.

The ward's character is shaped by its proximity to the water, with fishing activities and boat services operating along the coast. The Chunnambar Boat House, offering ferry links to Paradise Beach, is a notable local facility. Vegetation includes casuarina groves lining sections of the shore. The area functions as a leisure and transit zone for the town, connecting the beachfront to other urban wards.
