Chennai → Marina Beach: key facts

Private transfer, Chennai Airport (MAA) to Marina Beach: the car (1–3 passengers) is €25 and the van (4–8) is €35, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 18 km on the road via SHU88; about 20 min off-peak, 20–30 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of the terminal your flight lands at — Anna International Terminal for international flights, Kamaraj Domestic Terminal for domestic flights — after baggage reclaim and, on international flights, customs, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Marina Beach is the long urban beach that runs along Chennai's eastern shore, from near Fort St. George south to the Chennai Lighthouse and Santhome. From the airport the road follows GST Road and Anna Salai or the inner roads through Guindy and Mylapore, then reaches Kamarajar Salai, the seafront avenue lined with memorials, the university and colonial-era buildings. Evening traffic towards the beach can be heavy at weekends.

Kamarajar Salai has the university buildings, Presidency College, the Vivekananda House and the memorials near the northern end, while the Chennai Lighthouse marks the southern section next to the fishing village and Santhome. Triplicane and Chepauk, with many budget hotels and the cricket stadium, lie just inland. The sand itself is wide and is a promenade rather than a swimming beach; cars stop along Kamarajar Salai or at hotel entrances nearby.

Public transport instead: Chennai Metro Rail (CMRL) Blue Line (Airport - Wimco Nagar) from Chennai International Airport metro station to Government Estate metro station, 05:00-23:00; weekdays every 7-10 min (every 15 min after 22:00), Sundays/holidays every 14-20 min. The metro does not reach the beachfront: from Government Estate station the northern end of Marina Beach is roughly two kilometres away on foot or by local bus.
