One of the best places to visit near to Chennai.. Spent a splendid time with my family in an island beach where no one was there after a while.. 1st when we went in there were few people.. After some time they almost all left and the evening was sooo peaceful and calm were we enjoyed the sound of waves with playing in sea water.. The place is well organized, neat and well- maintained.. Best time to visit is between 2.30pm and 5pm..
A lovely place to spend a day away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The food is good. Fish curry and fry is a must try at the restaurant. The beach Island is a must visit. The boat ride from the boathouse to the island is an experience. Make sure to watch the water, you ll get a feeling of raindrops hitting the water all around, a peculiar illusion created by sunlight on the water of Buckingham canal. Can spend a day watching the sea, walking on the sands...there are shacks with benches on the sandy island. The staff are good, helpful.
Decent place to visit once. Facilities could have been better, the island has wide umbrella/roofs to rest but other than there isn't much. The short boat ride to the island is the highlight and the water on the beach is clean. You can find a peaceful view and solitude if the weather cooperates
Very courteous staff, can be developed as a good family outing spot near to Chennai. Good place to visit and spend some time along with family. Need to carry our own water as in the island you do not find any. Island maintenance needs to be improved and public should avoid throwing waste bottles and paper over it.
Had a great time with family get together, really its nice place to enjoy. I recommend for group of people its a wonderful place to enjoy with our family or friends, my option is island visit instead of of boating, there u can sit relax Or play in beach especially kids with enjoy it there u can carry ur lunch or if u pay in boat house they will arrange& carry food for u from their restaurant
