Once a seaport, the abandoned Thalankuppam Pier {also called the Nettukuppam Pier} is situated in Thalankuppam, a fishing hamlet along the Ennore High Road. Since the time of the British, people have travelled from different parts of the city to purchase the best fish from Thalankuppam Pier. The pier extends into the sea where you come face-to-face with peace and vitamin sea. A favourite as a shoot location for plenty of films, the pier is also fun to visit for a day trip.
