Chandrabhaga beach.

Just three kilometers from the iconic Konark Sun Temple, Chandrabhaga Beach is a pristine stretch of the Odisha coastline with deep spiritual roots. As the first beach in India to achieve Blue Flag certification, it stands out for its exceptional cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and family-friendly environment. Visitors gather on the wide shoreline of the Bay of Bengal before dawn to witness spectacular sunrises, a nod to the area’s devotion to the Sun God. Beyond the sand, the beach is famous for hosting intricate sand art sculptures and the annual Chandrabhaga Fair. Active travelers can opt for camel rides or jet skiing, while those seeking a quieter perspective can climb the nearby lighthouse for panoramic coastal views or visit the adjacent natural deer park.
