Chandrabhaga Beach of Orissa is very
close to the famous Sun temple which is
just 3 kms. of Konark – a World Heritage
Monument, this beach of Orissa is
alluring. This Orissa Beach is rated
as one of the finest beaches with a long
stretch of clean sands and cool blue sea
making rapids in the rolling waves, this
beach has its own lovely serenity.
When the sky is clear, watching the golden
sun rising above the blue waters is a life
time and an amazing experience.
In the early days river Chandrabhaga
joined the sea here but now only the
confluence remains to be seen.
Here religious people in large number take
holy dip in this confluence on the Magha
Saptami day which falls in the month of
February-March every year. There is also a
functional light house here.
