Mahabalipuram Beach is most well-known for its group of monuments, a UNESCO-listed site of seventh century temple remains. However, the Group Monuments of Mahabalipuram is not the only historical site here that’s worth seeing. Multiple other temples and archeological sites can be found along the beach, including the Tiger Rock, Pancha Rathas, and a sculpture museum. In addition, the beach also features several restaurants and a magnificent lighthouse.
