A calm beach near Chennai

Chennai, the city considered the gateway to South India, has arguably the second longest beach. It also has a few other beaches. However, it is unfortunate that it is tough to find a clean beach in the city. The beach near Tiger's Cave is an exception, though.



Tiger's Cave is located at about 52 kms from Chennai and at 5 kms from Mamallapuram. It has a beautiful and ancient cave-like architectural marvel and an old rock-cut Shiva temple. Nearby stands the 2000-years-old remains of a brick temple discovered recently by the Tsunami. The beach is situated next to the ancient brick temple.



The beach is clean, calm, and serene. You can hardly find anybody here. This is a rare sight in Chennai as almost all the places are crowded. The surrounding area, dotted with many palm and casuarina trees, is also calm and neat. It's really a relaxing experience to visit this excellent weekend picnic spot.


Happy traveling.
