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.
