Golden Beach, Puri, Sacred beach in Puri, India
The beach extends along the Bay of Bengal with warm golden sand and consistent waves reaching the shoreline throughout the year.
The coastal area served as a significant maritime trade center since ancient times, connecting the Kalinga empire with Southeast Asian kingdoms.
During the annual Puri Beach Festival, local artists present traditional Odissi dance performances and create intricate sand sculptures depicting mythological scenes.
The beach provides designated swimming zones, lifeguard services, and numerous food stalls offering traditional Odia seafood specialties and refreshments.
The beach water recedes up to five kilometers during low tide, creating a natural walkway where visitors can observe small marine creatures.
