Things To Do

There are plenty of places to shop, eat & drink and archeological sites in the area. All 3 resorts recommended have private beaches you can enjoy. We do not recommend public beaches due to safety issues. The key areas to check out include the capital city of Chennai with it Portuguese churches, British Forts, Museums, shopping districts and restaurants. Other cities in the area include 1) Pondicherry (Once an ancient roman port city, then the French capital), 2) Mamallapurm (an ancient, rock-cut temple city with archeological ruins) and 3) Kanchipuram, a UNESCO heritage center with many temples. We have put together a map here. Please copy-paste the link into a new window and it will list popular bars, restaurants, and shopping districts. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1aHh0LlWYssmPlNYdgoFgEXYTUZABGh3X&usp=sharing For those interested, we can organize day trips to Chennai, Pondicherry or Mamallapurm, and will coordinate with you closer to the dates.
