Beach rest
And, above all, it Marina Beach (Marina Beach) . This is the natural city beach Chennai. The beach runs from the Fort of St. George in the north to the car of Nagara in the south - thus, only 13 km. Yes, this is the longest natural urban beach in the country and the second in the length of the natural urban beach in the world. The beach is mostly sandy (unlike rocky education, which is JUHU Beach in Mumbai). The average width of the beach is 300 meters (the largest part is 437 m).But swimming on Marina Beach is prohibited due to the danger to run into rapid underwater flows. Nevertheless, resting and taking sunny baths on the beach. No one forbids. Moreover, this is the most crowded beach in the country - there is a rest of up to 30,000 visitors a day on weekdays and up to 50,000 people on weekends and on holidays. Along the beach there are shops and food shops at least 500 pieces.
Also along the beach you can see monuments and statues, so, it is also a great place for a walk and morning run. On the beach itself, there are often air coils, ride a pony, play a beach cricket. Also next to the beach there are carousels.
Another famous beach - Elliot Beach (Elliot's Beach) , as well known in the people as "Besant Nagar-Beach" or "Bessess". It is located in Besan Nagar, and in fact, this is the end of Marina Beach. The beach is named after Edward Elliot, Governor Madras. By the way, in the colonial era, this place was intended exclusively for white people. This beach is popular among local students and families. Along this beach, there are also many restaurants and cafes.Also near the beach there is a police office, and on the beach the rescuers go on all-terrain vehicles. The fact is that here the flow and waves are not the weakest - earlier there were 10 cases of drowning per year on this beach. Now less, because rescuers are more mobile.
Golf in Gymkhana Club

The club has 14 suite rooms, 36 ordinary rooms and 6 suites. In addition to golf courses in this club there are also tennis courts . Here is a place for lovers of this noble sport.
Riding on yachts
And immediately appeal to ROYAL MADRAS YACHT CLUB (RMYC) - Yacht club with history. The club was founded by Sir Francis Spring in 1911, and that was the first yacht club in the southern part of India. Soon after its foundation, the club fell under the royal patronage of George V, and became one of the most prestigious sports and social clubs in British India. The motto of this club is "promoting sailing in all its aspects, for athletes of any age and abilities."

The club recently acquired yachts of the J80 boat - the first in the country. The company's office is 1.5 km south-west from the railway station Egmor, next to the hotel The Park Pod.
Horse Racing
This is about "MADRAS RACE CLUB" which is located in Guindi Park. But, by the way, jumps are held here since 1777! This is the oldest hippodrome in India. All in Chennai the oldest, as you can see. The CBB club is currently about 625 horses at the station, as well as the best "racing route" in the country.
The racing season begins in November and continues until March, after which the races continue in Utakamand (9 hours drive from Chennai to South-West) from April to June. By the way, all horsepower in India enjoy the rules of the rules compiled by the Madras Race Club manager (at least since 1993).
Ricchat race
The Rickshaw Challenge. Ideal for those who want something new, as well as for those who want to "experience India" on their own skins in the framework of the fun event. A cool competition started in 2006, and since then passes regularly. It lies in the fact that the group of rivals go on Rickshah through half India.
Previously, traveled from Chennai to Canyacumari (that about 700 km), today the route called Classic Run is the way to trivandrum, which is further (950 km).The cost of participation in the entertainment is from € 1375. The winter competition is held (for example, this time from 12/28/2015 before 01-06-2016). That's how you go on your authorik, on all roads, through different landscapes and even different climatic conditions (because the path runs down along the coast), past the exotic Indian villages and such cities like Pudfurry, Tanjavur, Madurai, Tutikinarin, Tirunelwel and Canyacumari.
Naturally, all this with stops - in general, all the adventure takes up to 10 days. Ride life! Of course, this is necessary to prepare in advance - this is the entertainment of not one day, but if there is not 2 weeks of vacation in stock, and longer - Velcom!
Lasertag
Well, if I did not happen to try such entertainment in my homeland, then try it here in Chennai. This place is ( "LASER TAG CHENNAI" ) At Kilpauk Garden Road, next to McDonalds. This place looks completely new. In fact, the Arena for the game is not too big, but this is quite good for the first game, which lasts about 15 minutes. You can check your results as soon as you finish the game, on the scoreboard outside. In this center there are whole crowds of local children who come here to play on the console.
Wild Tribe Ranch.
This place is located to the north-west of Chennai, an hour away, away from the noise and fuss. In essence, this is a playing field with different things for all ages. For example, there are two quad bike . For security, only the helmet (elbow or gloves do not give, but also the helmet is enough).There is also Paintball court, swimming pool (True, local bathe right in jeans or underwear - no one insists on melting and swimsuits. It looks somehow not very hygienic), Bunji-football (Simply put, football on trampolines; although for such a small platform, 12 people are busting), Simulator Rodeo on the bull and Park with obstacles.
After games, you can relax in the hall with air conditioning. It's a little strange with meals: it is impossible to bring your food, but there is no restaurant (you can order, and I will bring food, of course, at high prices).
