Top 5 Famous beaches in Chennai

Chennai, a metropolitan city, is famous for its diverse culture and history. It is located on the Eastern coast lane and is renowned for some fantastic beaches. Chennai beaches could give you the peace you expect from your daily routine.

For travelers and tourists, it is a place of happening and an opportunity to explore Chennai's favorite eateries and cuisine. Chennai city fishers and other residents can put up kiosks in the afternoon and evening to sell eateries and food.

Let us see the list of the top 5 famous and must-visit beaches in Chennai, starting from North Chennai.

Nettukuppam Broken Pier

Tiruvottiyur Beach

Marina Beach

Elliots Beach

Thiruvanmiyur Beach

Nettukuppam Broken Pier

It is a place where the Kosasthalaiyar River meets the Bay of Bengal. It is famous for its scenic view and is one of the photogenic spots in Chennai. A Lesser-known spot as it is a little away from the city crowd. Thalankuppam village people visit this beach frequently.

This place is known for the broken pier. Depending on the season or tide, it can be accessed by boat or walk. You get a fantastic view and props for photo shoots. Early sunrise is the most photographed element in this place.

We can even say the unsung spot for sunrise view in Chennai. Most city people never know that such a place exists in Chennai.

Tiruvottiyur Beach

It is not a crowded beach like Marina, but a decent crowd visits it daily. Amateur photographers can use wave stoppers for their shooting props.

We can say Tiruvottiyur beach is an esplanade located on the shore of the Bay of Bengal. A perfect spot for the sunrise photo shoot, and due to modernization, we can see many pre and post-wedding photo shoots on this beach.

The most frequently used beach for movie shooting apart from Marina beach is this Tiruvottiyur beach.

Marina Beach

According to Chennai District's official website, the world's second-largest beach is the country's first largest beach. Either foreigner or domestic tourist never fails to visit marina as the historical importance it withholds.

The accessibility is so easy that Chennai MRTS has three major railway stops for Marina beach. Based on Government records, in a day Marina is visited by 20,000 – 30,000 visitors. During weekend holidays it crosses more than 50,000. But during New year and other regional festival holidays, this counted cross more than 1,00,000.

Though crowded often, you will get your own space to sit back and relax. This 12km stretch from south Besant Nagar to North Saint George fort is a single beach. Beach offers a lot of activities and sightseeing spots to keep you engaged.

Marina beach is also famous for its eateries. Fishery places their kiosks after sunset and starts to prepare spicy hot fish fry, Bhaji, and many more mouth-watering food items on this beach. You will never get tired of this spot.

Elliots Beach

Well known as "Besant Nagar Beach" or fondly called "Bessie" by the natives. Popular hangout spot for youngsters, this place is well suited with branded restaurants like KF, Burger King...Etc. It is not as crowded as Marina, but it has a decent crowd.

The placement of Elliots Beach is what makes it unique—located in Besant Nagar, known for its cleanliness and peaceful environment. Unlike Marina beach, Elliot's beach has a minimum number of kiosk vendors.

This beach becomes active during the evening time and stays away until midnight. After midnight restaurants are closed but still, we can see people quite often. It has a famous Annai Velankanni Matha church and Astalakshmi Temple in its vicinity.

Thiruvanmiyur Beach

As we move away from the city limit, either north or south, the beach becomes less populated. Because of lesser people visit, these beaches are clean and well maintained. One such beach is Thiruvanmiyur beach.

It is the area where East Coast Road (ECR) begins. ECR is famous for its scenic view along the coastal line till the southern tip of India Kanyakumari. From here we get to see a lot of beaches with a smaller number of visitors or some beaches have no visitors and suit well for photo lovers.

This beach is not far away but is well away from the city center crowd. This beach is also well located, and the entire area of Thiruvanmiyur is so calm and peaceful other than the Thiruvanmiyur bus depot location. This location shows many cine actors, actresses' houses, and residents of famous business owners. It is considered one of the posh localities in Chennai.
