Top ways to experience Besant Nagar Beach and nearby attractions
The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Besant Nagar
Named after the noted lady theosophist Annie Besant, Besant Nagar is one of the
most preferred areas to reside in Chennai due to the presence of the beach. The
extremely calm and serene area with its colonial hangover is studded with sea-
facing homes owned by the affluent families and has a string of restaurants, cafes, shops and boutiques around it. Home to Elliot’s Beach, The Theosophical Society and Kalakshetra, the world famous dance school along with beautiful temples and churches, this is where Chennai loves to chill. The confluence of best of nature, art and history within the greenest parts of the city limits is evident in the culture of this neighbourhood, which makes it one of the most favourite hangout zones for all the locals.

Hi, the timing is relative, you should check the sun rise timing schedule and then go accordingly. If you are lucky, you can get a very good sunrise view. The crowd, at that time of the day, is generally trickling. In any case, this beach doesn't have the crowd like Marina! Have fun!

Safety wise its fine but, police patrol is the problem. Chennai don't have night life unless you are very rich and local person.
