Kasimedu is a working fishing beach and harbor in north Chennai — great for gritty coastal scenes: colorful fishing boats, nets, wet sand reflections and candid portraits of fishermen at dawn. Visit at sunrise and early morning for golden light, active hauling scenes and calmer seas; weekdays are less crowded. Accessible from Tondiarpet by auto; limited parking. Be respectful and ask before photographing people; expect salty spray and sand on gear.
