Situated at 16 km from Balasore, halfway between Puri and Kolkata, the Chandipur beach is one of the hot-spot for beach lovers. Stretched on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, this beach offers some kaleidoscopic views of the eastern sky and an unbelieveable retreat of the beach during low tides. Twice a day, the sea recedes from the shore around 5 km away, giving a corridor to the tourists to enjoy a walk on the sea! Surrounded by casuarina trees and solitary sand dunes, Chandipur is a beach drifter’s paradise. Loaded with numerous sea shells and driftwood on the golden sand, this place injects zeal among children and even adults, who barge to collect as many shells as they can. You can also hire a fisherman’s boat and trace the route of the river Budhabalanga till it merges with the sea.
