are not to be missed for anything. Well, almost anything. If there’s a football tournament coinciding with your planned tour, tape it. If your boss wants your assignment completed by Monday, turn it in on Friday itself. If your wife wants to go shopping for jewelry, well…take her. Or have her wait till you arrive in Orissa for your tour to Chandipur Beach.

For, the beach at Chandipur is distinct from any beach you have ever seen in your life. Here, the sea recedes into the horizon by nearly 5 km twice each day. If the thought of a receding sea makes the alarm bells ring in your head, relax and sit down on the sand and take in the beauty of this rare sight.

Unlike the expected reaction from a retreating sea, the waves take their own sweet time to slowly drift back to the coastline and caress the feet of those who braved to walk on the temporarily abandoned seabed.

Once the sea retreats back into the horizon, the exposed seabed, littered with red starfishes and drift woods that make for souvenirs also, is open to all for walks and jeep rides. If you are a beachcomber then go gathering abandoned seashells and gift them to your wife as a pendant for her deserving neckline.

Once the sea is back to its resting spot, you can go swimming and build sand castles and wait for the sea to head for another round of hide and seek.
