The Pulicat Lake, surrounded by spectacular natural beauty and a cutting-edge technology hub, offers something for everyone. This town has an extensive history. Its history dates back to 300 BCE when it served as a major port in the Bay of Bengal. As a British colonial town, it was also noted for its fishing village and health resort. In reality, their primary habitation ended up being in this Pulicat city. The British rulers were the final conquerors to occupy the town.

This lake is also the dwelling place of so many birds. You can see numerous migratory birds there between October to March every year. Although many different bird species are seen, the flamingos are notable because they populate the marshlands next to the lake in great numbers.
