I feel Marina Beach is the best in India. I have visited Calangute in Goa as well as beaches in Kerala but prefer Marina because -
Marina Beach is among the longest beaches in the world and it comprises of sun, sand and surf. Counted among one of the longest beaches in Asia, it is stretched across a 12-km long area. This beach was given a makeover by Governor Mountstuart Elphinstone Grant Duff in the early 1880's, and is Chennai's major tourist attraction today.
Located on the eastern side of Chennai, adjoining the Bay of Bengal is the mesmerizing Marina beach. Watching the sun set and rise from the beach is a fascinating experience.
Bathing and swimming can be dangerous here, as the undercurrent is very strong. But still people come for swimming here. The beach also offers a lot of water sports opportunities, like, para-sailing, gliding, windsurfing, cruising, etc.
In the evenings, the beach turns into a fair ground with various kinds of entertainment and food stalls lining the beach. One can even shop around the beach, buying shell and glass baubles to kites and fruit juices. The Marina, is also the venue for important state functions, accommodate a good number of visitors. There are also facilities of pony rides at the beach site, which attract the children's interest the most.-

One of the well kept secrets of Kerala must be Kappad beach, about 20km from Calicut, Kerala. Clean soft sands, passive waves with a few rocks dotting the stretch, one of the best aspects of Kappad is it is hardly crowded.
The beach also has a resort right on the beachfront called Kappad Beach Resort. The resort is economical and offers a nice getaway for a 2 day break. For more details, check out: http://www.holidayiq.com/resortinfo_review.php?Resid=2970

Apart from many well known beaches in Tamilnadu like Marina,Mahabalipuram, Cuddalore, Pondichery,Tiruchendur, Kanyakumari etc,there is a little known beach in Karaikal near Thanjavur.It is a small beach.More than the beach, the adjoining two Km long stretch on the bank of river Arasalar is a nice place.
