Meet verified people near Marine Drive, Kochi

Marine Drive is Kochi’s waterfront promenade, a long walkway facing the backwaters with views of passing boats and the islands. Behind it lie the shopping streets of MG Road and Broadway, some of the oldest commercial areas in Ernakulam. For Myra members, Marine Drive is a classic first-date location: public, scenic and central, with plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby. Introductions here often include people from High Court Junction, Kaloor, Ernakulam North, Ravipuram and Kacheripady. The walkway is busy every evening with families, students and couples enjoying the breeze, and it is especially beautiful at sunset. From here, boats leave for short backwater cruises, which make a lovely later date. Because the area is so central, it is a fair meeting point when two people live in different parts of the city. Weekday evenings are calmer than weekends, which is helpful if you want a quieter conversation. The area also hosts book fairs, food festivals and cultural events through the year, especially in the cooler months, which make easy, lively plans for a second meeting. On rainy days, the cafés along the walkway are a cosy place to watch the weather over the water. The walkway was built on land reclaimed from the backwaters in the late twentieth century, and the Rainbow Bridge is its best-known landmark.
