Elliot’s Beach (Besant Nagar Beach)

Elliot’s Beach, also known as Besant Nagar Beach or simply “Bessie,” is located at the southern end of the Marina Beach shore in Chennai. This area was once a colonial expatriate enclave, and today it draws a lively mix of twentysomethings and families seeking a more relaxed atmosphere away from the bustling crowds at Marina Beach. The beach offers a wide expanse of sand and a vibrant, laid-back vibe, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors to enjoy the seaside scenery and socialize.
