Light House

It is one of the few lighthouses in the world and the only one in India with an elevator which was opened in January 1977. It also houses the meteorological department and is restricted to visitors.

Open for public , has an elevator takes you to 9th floor. You walk you one more floor to catch birds eye view of marina . Closed on Mondays. 20rs per adult. There is museum as well .

Right at the edge of the Marina , the light house is a great place to spend an evening as the sun goes down, watching the powerful beam of slight sweep across the water is a good photo opportunity .

It is a famous landmark on the Marina Beach in Chennai, India. It was built by the East Coast Constructions and Industries in 1976 replacing the old lighthouse in the northern direction.

The lighthouse museum has a touchscreen that's plays a flash file through a browser, click on the edges to exit the full screen mode and browse the internet! ????
