The beach is separated from the mainland by the canal running from Chennai to Mahabalipuram.

Elliots Beach

About Elliots Beach :

Elliots Beach Vacation Packages

Located in Besant Nagar, Chennai, Elliot's beach is the preferred destination for those with a clean atmosphere in mind. Following the road along the coast down south from Marina one will come to Elliot's beach where one can spend a few hours relaxing.

This beach is lined with fast food joints, small stores, and a few shrines. It is a popular hangout for the younger generation these days. Four decades ago, Elliot's beach was the favourite haunt of foreigners seeking a secluded beach to sun bathe at.

Prime Attractions :

At the end of this beach are situated the Velanganni Church and the Ashtalakshmi temple. Velanganni Church: Though the church is much smaller than the original one at Velanganni it attracts its own share of pilgrims.

Ashtalakshmi Temple: The Ashtalakshmi temple dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi (also spelt as Laxmi) looks quite different from the usual SOUTH INDIA temples as it is a modern tier construction, not even 20 years old.
