Top 7 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu
Just 45 minutes out of the city, the East Coast Road first stops at the historic town of Mahabalipuram. The 7th century erstwhile port city is famous for its rock-cut shore temples. A lone lighthouse on a hill watches over a group of temples below. Mahabalipuram also has some great cafes that serve good sea food. A backpacker’s delight, one can find cheap accommodations and plenty of activities.

During our stay in a resort in Mahabalipuram with our full family, we decided to spend half a day for the routine sight seeing to educate my grandsons on the Indian History aspect of this area. At first we were skeptical to visit the Sea Shell Museum, as we did not know what to expect. After going in, we were stunned and mind blown by what we saw. There were 40,000 shells from all over the world --very neatly displayed and labelled. My grandsons refused to come out of the museum. There is an aquarium and a Pearl Museum also which the kids enjoyed and which were very interesting and educational. The shop called Maya Bazaar also had some v nice things which can be bought as souvenirs. I highly recommend this Museum for all.. young and old.. It has to be seen to be believed.

Come dive with us at the beautiful ship wreck at the Chennai Port. We also offer several courses for those who want to become certified Scuba Divers. For those who want a one time experience, we can take you diving ourselves and the best part is you don't need to know how to swim. We operate throughout the year so fun-diving is possible anytime you're passing by here.
