Visitors to the beach along the East Coast Road in Chennai were in for a pleasant surprise on Sunday evening as they spotted a magical blue glow on the beach. Pictures and videos of the bluish glow of the waves soon swarmed the internet with visitors gushing about the rare phenomenon. The sparkles on the sea were visible to people along the coast from Kovalam to Thiruvanmiyur in the city.
