Before we check out Chennai International Airport, my colleague and that i received one last opportunity to go to a non hotel or shopping center attraction that's along the way. Since we were at a coastal city, I suggested taking a peek at one of the local beaches. Thirty minutes of driving later, we reached Elliot's Beach (named after Edward Elliot, Governor of Madras), also typically referred to as Besant Nagar Beach or just Bessie.

It absolutely was a pity that people were not conscious of The Ashtalakshmi Temple as well as the Velanganni Church in the vicinity. In case you are ever across the corner, you actually be forced to pay visiting these 2 religious heritage sites.
