Visit These 7 Great Beach View Restaurants In Chennai Before The Monsoons Start

To see the beach in Chennai you either have to drive really far out to Mahabalipuram or you can mosey on over to Besant Nagar. But either way, you’ve got to plan your day out properly so that you can get to the beach restaurants on time to properly enjoy the sunset or the cool winter breeze. With the monsoons just around the corner, now is a really good time to visit beach side restaurants, because once it starts to rain, it’s not going to be the most romantic setting for a beachside eating experience. Either way, being a coastal city, Chennai has lots to offer. Sit at a fine dining restaurant with the Bay of Bengal as your backdrop or sit so close to the beach, you can’t help but enjoy the wind in your hair at Elliot’s Beach in Besant Nagar. Whatever your choice, there’s something for everyone.

Bay View, Vivanta by Taj Fisherman’s Cove
