The Shore Temple built during the Pallava Dynasty in 8th Century A.D., is so named because it overlooks the shore of the Bay of Bengal on the Mahabs point. It is one of the oldest structural (versus rock-cut) stone temples of South India. The jetty built to protect this ancient site has given us our world-class point break, and makes for an amazing backdrop for all your surf sessions!
