About Elliot's Beach

Escape to Elliot's Beach (also known as Besant Nagar Beach) in Chennai, a tranquil haven away from the city's bustle! Picture golden sands stretching along the Bay of Bengal, perfect for leisurely strolls and captivating sunsets.

More than just a pretty beach, it holds a fascinating history. Named after Edward Elliot, a Chief Magistrate and Superintendent of Police during British rule, it once served as a gathering place for Europeans. The iconic Schmidt Memorial, a poignant tribute to a Dutch sailor who tragically lost his life, stands as a silent witness to the beach's past.

Today, Elliot's Beach is a vibrant hub for locals and tourists alike. Enjoy street food vendors offering delicious treats, or simply relax and soak in the atmosphere. The beach's laid-back vibe makes it ideal for families and friends to unwind. Don't miss the Ashtalakshmi Temple, a vibrant Hindu temple nearby, adding a spiritual dimension to your visit.
