BACK WATERS~

The Muttukadu Lake is the backwater area of the Bay of Bengal and way to Mahabalipuram we can access it from the East Coast Road. The lake offers a number of water sports like speedboat riding, rowing, wind surfing and water skiing and has a boat house from where we can hire speed boats, row boats, water scooters and much more . The water in the area is not so deep and hence the activities are rather safe even for children. The boathouse has a lounge where you can sit and watch the boating and there is a restaurant too. A floating boat jetty from where you can board the boats is an attraction .

The complete area looks so beautiful, especially in early mornings or evenings . Also , you will find a lot of Cranes, sea Gulls and a few Pelicans .

The weather in Chennai can be quite hot and humid during the summer months, so the best time to have a boat ride on the lake is during the cooler months of October through February when the weather is pleasant.
The boat house opens at 9.00 am and closes at 5.00 pm daily.
A must see destination for the whole family .

One can also visit the famous Mamallapuram rock cut temples when on a visit to Muttukadu Lake. Local buses and taxis are available from Chennai to Muttukadu Lake .
