Puri Beach
Though one of India's
holiest pilgrimage centres, Puri is also clebrated for its attractive
coastline, that has gifted it with some very fine beaches. The beach front
is wide, and ideal for beach sports. The sea at Puri can, however, be rough.
Swimming, here, is recommended only in the company of life guards, who can
be distinguished by their characteristic yellow conical caps. There are
several resorts, that line the beaches, and range from the modest in
comfort, to the more luxurious. Due to the rough sea, water sports are not
common.
Gopalpur-on-Sea
Another popular
beach resort is Gopalpur-on-Sea, 170 km from Bhubaneshwar, and 15 km from
Berhampur. This is a perfect beach, fairly isolated, and undisturbed by
day-trippers. This place is good for both sailing and surfing.
Chandipur
Another divine beach
resort of Orissa, Chandipur is situated 16 kms away from Balasore. It is a
unique beach in that that the sea water recedes about 5 kms during low tide
and advances to the shore line again during high tide, each day.
