the Palavakkam beach is relatively spacious. This draws huge crowds from nearby
neighborhoods. “Groups of youngsters from Adyar, Besant Nagar and Thiruvanmiyur
come and play here and they park their two-wheelers on the road and there is no
space for pedestrians to walk,” During the weekends, there is heavy traffic on
Dr. Kalignar Karunanidhi Salai and therefore a parking slot is essential for
this Beach.
Frequent bus services and share autos are available to reach
Palavakkam. The place is nearby Thiruvanmiyur, which has many IT parks
including TIDEL Park.
