N4 Beach
Located in the North of Chennai. It is the fishing harbour in Chennai.

ECR beach

Hidden lake
Located a Kilometer away from Chennai International Airport, Hidden Lake is such a beauty to visit within the city limits. Abounded quarries led to the creation of this majestic place. A short trek in the Thirusullam hills takes you to the lake. Of course, it is a hidden gem for the Chennaiites who have never got to see such an overview.
Broken Bridge
Beautiful things needn’t always be perfect, they can also be broken, just like this Broken Bridge which connected Santhome Beach to Elliot’s beach. The Broken Bridge collapsed in 1977 and was never reconstructed and ended up becoming an eye- catching site. It is a bliss to watch the Sunrise and Sunset with your loved ones from this point.
Thirusulam Hills
Located right behind the Thirusullam Railway station is easily accessible by road. This mountain region being the tallest hills gives a breath-taking view of the hidden lake and also the airport, especially when it is lit. There is Murugan temple – temple to the Hindu Lord Muruga. On the other side of the hill is a Church. Furthermore, there is a mosque on top of the hill. It is a thrill filled ride and gives an amazing view of the city.
Ottiambakkam quarry
Post your shoot you can swim, kayak, practise paddle board yoga, and other water sports (provided you know to swim very well) at the undiscovered and serene Ottiambakkam quarry in the city. This is the most private place as it is an offbeat place near Chennai.
Muttukadu lake
To reach Muttukadu from Chennai, follow the Eastern Coast Road. Boating is a good option at an affordable cost. There is a lot of parking space as well. Click the perfect sunset shots with the love of your life. You can also spot Pelicans and other seabirds occasionally. Watch out for your head, while rowing beneath the ECR bridge.
Alampari port
The 15-acre brick and limestone castle, which stands towering on the Chennai-Puducherry East Coast Road in Madurantakam. One can picture the spectacular view that the fort’s former residents once took in when gazing out to sea. Sea foam shoots up from the brick walls as waves crash against them. Storks soar overhead, perching on centuries-old bastions.
Shore temple
A large and two smaller temples make up the complex known as Shore Temple. Shore temple overlooks the Bay of Bengal’s coastline. It is a granite-block temple that has a structural design. Perfect spot to capture the love in traditional attire.
