About Chandipur Beach
The Chandipur beach, located 16 Km from Balasore, is a tourist's delight. The beach is one of the best beaches on the eastern coastal line of India. The beach offers magnificent views of the beautiful seascapes. The beach has casuarina trees and the gleaming waters of this seaside resort has made Chandipur a favoured destination of the beach lovers. A very unique feature of the Chandipur beach is that twice a day the sea-water recedes from the shore around 5-km away, giving water revellers an ultimate pleasure of walking onto the golden sands of the beach. For a change one can always hitch a ride with the local fishermen's boats to the mouth of the river Budhabalanga or take a jeep-ride, along the beach, when the waters recede far away. Chandipur is a beach-comber's delight with its abundant sea-shells and driftwood. The scene of sea vanishing and coming back rhythmically at regular intervals, as if playing hide and seek, adds to the unforgettable experience of the visitors.
