Read moreWanting to go for a short picnic in chennai and a place which I haven't visited so far, I decided to go to this beach. For south Chennai people it takes 1hr to reach this place.. We drove early morning..driving past the city.. Lovely sunrise view... It was a small lane leading to the path of this beach.. So b careful not to miss it. Cz first we missed the road and had to tak a uturn.. We parked our vehicle and walked abt 45 mins slowly.. Very serene n calm.. Very few people r there n dey do yoga n meditation.. As u walk by.. You can see those blocks of stone.. Dont forget to sit on one and click pics.. Very beautiful except for the scribblings on the stone🙄 ..a boat came with full of nethili fish.. So lovely to c the Fisher men pull out the net.. We bought those fish for rs100 ..I bet u could never buy that quantity of fish for that price anywhere else.. Fresh fish.. Live catch.. And soo much quantity for that price. I usually don't like that fish... But it tasted soo good.. Overall a very happy feeling leaving...
