Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Andhra Pradesh, India.

Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Andhra Pradesh, India, where the Godavari River meets the sea and wide mangrove forests line the shore. The ground shifts between muddy shallows and sandy banks, crossed by narrow channels that change with the tides.

The sanctuary was established to protect the Godavari estuary's mangroves, which rank as India's third largest stretch. In the 1970s, attempts to reintroduce saltwater crocodiles failed, and the species has been absent for over 30 years. The Andhra Pradesh Forest Department now runs otter conservation and mangrove afforestation programmes.

The sanctuary takes its name from Coringa, the village at its edge on the Kakinada–Yanam highway. A socio-economic study by the Indian Bird Conservation Network found that most local fishermen harvest wood in the forest and depend heavily on the mangroves for their basic needs, using Avicennia officinalis and Avicennia marina as fuelwood.

The sanctuary lies about 8 km from Kakinada on National Highway 216 at Chollangi village, on the delta branches of the Godavari and Gouthami at Kakinada Bay. The best months to visit are October to May, after the rains. Migratory birds are seen from November to February, and olive ridley turtles nest on the 18-km sand pit from January to March.

The area shelters 24 different kinds of mangrove trees, more than most other Indian coasts. Olive Ridley turtles come ashore between January and March to lay their eggs in the sand before returning to the water.
