Vodarevu Beach, Coastal beach in Prakasam district, India.
Vodarevu Beach is a sandy shore along the Bay of Bengal near the town of Chirala, featuring a gentle slope into the water. Coconut palms line the upper part of the beach, providing natural shade across much of the area.
The location began as a fishing settlement where the community earned its living from maritime work. Over time it became known as a day-trip destination for travelers from nearby regions seeking coastal access.
The fishing village here continues its daily work along the shore, with fishermen casting nets and organizing their catches throughout the day. This working waterfront gives the beach an authentic character shaped by generations of maritime life.
The beach sits near Chirala railway station, making it accessible by train from surrounding areas. The sand is firm and the shore is wide, ideal for walking, and ample shade from palms helps during sunny hours.
The water here has a greenish tint due to algae growth that thrives in the bay waters, giving it a distinctive appearance. This natural coloration makes the shore visually different from other coastal beaches in the region.
