If you are looking for a quieter hangout spot, ditch Elliot's Beach and head to Thiruvalluvar Nagar Beach instead, about a 23-minute drive from this property. Whenever the Chennai heat becomes too much for me, I go to this beach to take in the fresh sea breeze and clear my head. Walk on the beach or sit on the sand, looking at the relentless crashing of the waves and the scarpering of the crabs. As the sun goes down, the adjacent food street with a wide variety of stalls becomes busy. Fried seafood, burgers, noodles, ice cream, mocktails, popcorn - take your pick from the diverse offerings here.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
This apartment is very close to T. Nagar, a vibrant commercial center, brimming with garment stores among other establishments. There are many saree stores in this area, my favorite one being Sundari Silks. Their multi-story showroom in T. Nagar is the perfect one-stop shop for the whole family. I have bought gifts for my parents and friends from this store multiple times and never have I been disappointed with the quality. The prices are reasonable as well.
