Decent beach. The water was clean. But it was very crowded. Lots of activities to do there like ATV ride, horse 🐎riding rtc. Many food n reasonable shopping options are also available.

Full time pass

The beach is great, clear waters, excellent atmosphere and overall a great vibe. However, the number of people you'd find on a weekend is insane. They will flock to the beaches and you can't really enjoy a private moment with the beach by yourself. Otherwise it was decently clean and there were cops to ensure no accidents happen.

This place is approximately 50 km from Chennai. It is the cleanest beach compared to all the beaches in Chennai. You can enjoy a beautiful sunset here. Transportation from Chennai: Personal vehicle. You can also rent a scooter in Chennai, and there are buses available from Chennai. This beach has rocks, and watching the sea water hit the rocks is an awesome sight. The road from Chennai to here is simply amazing. You can also enjoy sea views along the way. No ticket required. Paid parking is available here.

Nice beach view but Full of garbage waste around. Has to be maintained well, also I didn't see any dustbin nearby..

Greatly clean and peaceful beach, welcoming all the diverse people families and children of the world 🌎🌍

Good place. U can get a local fisherman contact there and go to beach and have some fun.

Absolutely filthy beach. Sand littered with plastic, rubbish and a zillion sandals. Head to fisherman's beach the other side of shore temple. Much nicer and cleaner with several restaurants.

The best place to hang out with friends and family, we went there for the sunrise it was an awesome experience. peaceful environment. If you are looking for a place to relax and give time for yourself this is one of the best places near chennai, less crowded....

It's not that clean ! But worth to have a look at that beautiful sea !

Mamallapuram is not only famous for monuments but also largely for beach. Everyone must visit frequently.

Beach with huge waves, we can enjoy there, but place is very crowd..

Not hygiene and safe...come hear during weekends to get crowd. It's not clean but enjoyable. The water is a little rough.

Want to enjoy the beach atmosphere but can’t get to the west coast of India? Mamallapuram is perhaps the most popular beach on India's east coast. It has UNESCO World Heritage listed monuments and a thriving backpacker scene but is frequented by tourists who go to relax at the resorts there as well.The town was a major 7th century seaport during the reign of the Pallava dynasty and is now an interesting open-air gallery of the dynasty's architecture. It's also known as Mahabalipuram (town of Mahabali), after mythical King Mahabali who was vanquished by Lord Vishnu. However, the Tamil Nadu government has officially called it Mamallapuram (town of Mamalla) in honor of the renowned Pallava ruler Narasimha I, who had developed the town as a seaport and trading center. He had the title of Mamalla, meaning "great fighter".

Public beach for a weekend getaway. Water is bit dirty due to the crowd. They are collecting 75rs per car but there is no proper maintainence. Beach sand is filled with rubbish.

Loved it it's just cool and clean beach this beach was cleaner than the marina beach it's not even over crowded too..

Sunrise at this beach is just awesome.

Nice view and best pleace bathing

One of the best beach in tamilnadu...

The Beach is sooo good ....we took a cottage which is jst behind the beach ..the view was awesome ❤️

Awesome beach a bit crowded. There is another beach at other side which is more peaceful

Nice view but lot's of garbage in the sand. Most publics are littering in the beach with abundance waste food , chips, ice cream covers in the sand. Please publics behave with basic sense in the public areas.

Mahabalipuram is jewel in the crown of indian art and culture. A must visit for art and sculpture lovers

Must-visit destination for anyone travelling to the area. The beach offers a breathtaking view of the Bay of Bengal, and is a perfect spot for relaxing and soaking up the sun. The beach is also great for taking long walks and watching the beautiful sunrise and sunset. Overall, Mahabalipuram Beach is a beautiful and peaceful place that should not be missed on your trip to the area.

No so clean, compared to other beaches in India but clean when compares to other beaches in Chennai

Great place if you move further away from the access. The access is full of shops and eateries. The entry and some more area is full of garbage. Go further away to enjoy a bit of cleaner sands.

You love it and enjoy shopping over there

Mahabalipuram is a wonderful place to visit, I would recommend to hire a guide to know the history & the place Better. It's worth a Visit.

Beautiful place neat and clean Good place for all ages
