Perupalem Beach

Perupalem Beach is a sandy coastline along the Bay of Bengal in West Godavari district, bordered by tall coconut groves and thick vegetation. The shore features calm waters and a natural setting shaped by local fishing communities and their daily activities.

This coastline developed as a fishing settlement used by local communities for many generations before tourism initiatives began in the region. Government development efforts in recent decades have made the area more accessible while preserving its role as a working fishing ground.

During the month of Kartikam, Hindu devotees gather here for religious ceremonies and ritual bathing that carry deep spiritual significance. These practices remain woven into the daily rhythm of local life, connecting people to their faith and traditions.

The beach is easy to reach from the main road, though a short walk brings you down to the water and shoreline. Visitors do best arriving early in the day to avoid peak heat and experience the calmest conditions.

This spot sits at the crossroads of traditional fishing and rising tourism, making everyday catch activities visible to visitors. It is rare to find a beach where you can watch real fishing work happening while the area develops for visitors.
