Beaches
 
Orissa's lovely beaches have been one of nature's best kept secrets. The long sunkissed coastal belt of orissa of 482 km. offers some of the finest white sand beaches in the world, where the lapping water of Bay of Bengal pay homage to their beauty. Beaches in Orissa are one of the major aspects of tourism products. These are the most peaceful beaches in India.
 
PURI

Puri beach is famous for its golden sands, soothing sun-bath and the colourful sunrise and sunset. There you can bathe and laze or enjoy seeing, the local fishermen plying their catamarans and sail boats. This beautiful beach is quite long and wide extending for miles.While at the Puri beach you may take a holy dip or swim in one of the finest beaches in India. Water lovers and pilgrims alike throng the pleasant and pious Puri. The golden memories of the golden glowing sands, the scintillating surf and the beauty of the beach all are unparallel. With time at hand you may move another 8 kms from Puri to the Balighai Beach whose natural beauty has made it a popular picnic spot.

 
GOPALPUR

18 kms south-east of Berhampur lies the quiet sea shore town of Gopalpur. It is popular sea-resort especially noted for its surg-swimming, sailing, sun-bathing and extensive sands. North-west of Gopalpur and 50 kms from Berhampur, amidst greens lies Taptapani, famous for its hot water sulphur spring. The water of the spring is channelised to a pond to facilitate bathing. Gopalpur is connected by road to Barkul (75 Km), Berhampur (16 Km), Bhubaneswar (180 Km) and Puri (242 Km).

 
BALASORE & CHANDIPUR

Balasore, the district headquarters, once was an important maritime town in medieval times through the river Budhabalanga. 214 kms, north east of Bhubaneswar, Balasore is convenient base point for excursions to Chandikpur and Remuna. Balasore is also noted for its traditional handicrafts of lacquered toys, brass-works and stone carvings. 16 kms east of Balasore is Chandipur one of the most pleasant beaches of the country. Here the sea, recedes five kilometres at low tide and then flows rhythmically after a regular interval every day. This play of the tide combined with bracing environs make the spot an excellent value.
