Chandrabhaga beach

The golden sandy shoreline of Chandrabhaga stretches along the Bay of Bengal with palm trees lining the water's edge for several kilometers.

Dating back to ancient times, this coastal area served as a significant pilgrimage site where devotees performed sacred rituals near the flowing Chandrabhaga River.

Every year during Magha Saptami, thousands of Hindu devotees gather at sunrise to take ceremonial baths in the waters near Konark Sun Temple.

The beach remains accessible throughout the year, with numerous food stands and rental chairs available between the parking area and shoreline.

Local fishermen navigate traditional wooden boats through the morning mist, collecting their daily catch as the sun rises over the eastern horizon.
