    You might also consider staying near the S M Mansion. It’s a bit farther out at about 2.57 km from the lighthouse, but the area has a good mix of budget rooms and easy auto access. From there you can hop on a short bus to Marina Beach for a few rupees, keeping the overall travel cost lower than staying right on the beach side.
