    If you want to cut the walk to the lighthouse even further, the E Hotel is only about 2.8 km away and the local auto rickshaws run short trips for a few rupees. Staying there keeps you close to the lighthouse and still a quick hop to Marina Beach, so you avoid extra bus fare or a long walk. It’s a solid budget option that doesn’t sacrifice convenience.
