How to reach Mahabalipuram by road

Mahabalipuram Town is well connected to the cities in and around the region including Chennai via both private tourist buses (that operate from Chennai Central) as well as Tamil Nadu Public Transport bus services. Along the way, one can see the devastation caused by the 2004 tsunami, but the ride otherwise is pleasant.
