Best Time to Visit Mahabalipuram Beach

Being one of the most prominent tourist locations in Chennai, Mahabalipuram sees a horde of visitors throughout the year. But the ideal time when the crowd is at its peak is from November to February when the weather is pleasing and favorable. You can also visit the beach during other times of the year but the summers in Chennai are scorching and you won’t be able to enjoy the beach in the afternoons. The monsoons are heavy so going to the sea is risky but other than that the rain-washed city looks exquisite and you can visit other tourist spots as well.
