Neelankarai Beach is located 7.7 mi (12.5 km) from the center of Chennai, why not stop by during your stay. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Thiruvanmiyur Beach, Edward Elliot's Beach, and ECR Beach.
If you want to see a show while you're in town, try and grab some tickets at Mayajaal Entertainment in Mylapore Tiruvallikk. If you enjoy the show and want to see another, Devi Cineplex and Inox Theatre are both not far.
