Car
If you are driving, start from Mahabalipuram town center. Head east on East Coast Road (ECR) towards Chennai. After about 5 kilometers, look for the Welcomhotel on your right. Palm Beach is located behind the Welcomhotel. Turn right onto the road that leads towards the hotel, and follow the signs to Palm Beach. There is no entry fee for the beach.
Public Bus
To reach Palm Beach via public transport, take a local bus from the Mahabalipuram bus stand that is heading towards Chennai. Request the driver to drop you off near the Welcomhotel ECR. From there, walk towards the beach area behind the hotel, which should take about 5-10 minutes. Ensure you check the bus schedule for return times, as they may vary.
Auto-Rickshaw
For a more direct route without the hassle of public transport, you can hire an auto-rickshaw from anywhere in Mahabalipuram. Simply tell the driver to take you to Palm Beach behind Welcomhotel ECR. The fare should range from ₹100 to ₹200 depending on your location and negotiation with the driver. The ride will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
