Mypadu Beach, Coastal beach in Nellore district, India
Mypadu Beach is a coastal stretch on the East coast of the Bay of Bengal in Andhra Pradesh, with wide expanses of golden-brown sand. The shore runs for a considerable distance and features gradual, gentle slopes into the water.
This was originally a fishing village that underwent transformation in the early 2000s through a tourism development initiative. The changes brought new facilities and gradually attracted visitors to the area.
Fishermen work daily along the shore, selling their catches to nearby restaurants and creating a working atmosphere that shapes the place. This everyday activity remains central to how locals and visitors experience the beach.
The beach is open during daylight hours and can become uncomfortable in intense sun or heavy rain. It is best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon when conditions are more pleasant.
Offshore waters contain natural whirlpools that restrict swimming to designated zones. Local authorities mark these safe areas to protect visitors from hazardous currents.
