Shanmugham Road

It is a busy and highly commercialised street of the city, dotted with shopping centres and offices.

In the 1970s, land was reclaimed close to the road, yielding a narrow strip of prime real estate.

More than half of the reclaimed land is left as open space, often used for gatherings, demonstrations and shows.

Marine Drive Kochi ground hosts exhibitions and large meetings regularly.

Major eateries include Marrybrown at Abad Food Court in Bay Pride Mall, Sealord Hotel, Coffee Cube and SFSplus.
