Edward Elliot's Beach
Tamil Nadu, India
Edward Elliot's Beach, also known as Besant Nagar Beach or Bessie, is a popular urban sandy beach in Chennai's Besant Nagar neighborhood, Tamil Nadu, India, marking the southern end of the famous Marina Beach shoreline.
Named after Edward Elliot, a 19th-century British chief magistrate of Madras, it features golden sands, calm Bay of Bengal waters safe for wading, and landmarks like the Karl Schmidt Memorial honoring a Dutch sailor who drowned saving a life, plus the nearby Ashtalakshmi Temple and Velankanni Church.
A family-friendly spot less crowded than Marina, it draws locals for evening strolls, street food, horse rides, and vibrant sunrises, with easy access via public transport and ample parking.
