I am a person who likes to hangout very frequently especially during weekends. I know that Chennai is famous for its beaches. The most famous beach in Chennai is the Marina beach. But to me the best beach is the Elliots beach now known as Besant Nagar beach. This is the best place to hangout in Chennai. Surrounded by a stream of restaurants, the beach is located in such a place where every possible recreation is possible. The beach is slowly becoming very famous and is being bombarded by all kinds of people. The problem with Marina is that the restaurants surrounding Marina are far off and are not of the best quality. While in Besant Nagar we have various ranges of restaurants. This can satisfy people of all classes. You can do skating in the outskirts of Planet Yum. The Broken Bridge of the Aayudha Ezhuthu/Yuva fame is another place to add to the popularity of the beach. Since Adyar, the most busiest place is near to this beach, transport facilities are also great. So please give this beach a try if you come to Chennai.
