Pulicat
Pulicat (Pazhaverkadu) is a historic seashore town in "North of Chennai" in Thiruvallur District, of Tamil Nadu state, South India. It is about 60 km North of Chennai and 3 km from Elavur, on the barrier island of Sriharikota, which separates Pulicat Lake from the Bay of Bengal. Pulicat lake is a shallow salt water lagoon which stretches about km along the coast. With lakeside and seashore development as well as several SEZs including a US $1 billion Medical SEZ, coming up in nearby Elavur, the land prices in the area are in the upswing.
