Puri

Puri Beach is the most popular beach of Odisha. It is the largest beach in India. This beach is also known as the Golden Beach. This famous beach destination in Odisha is the place where a number of pilgrims come to pay deference to Lord Jagannath. Puri Beach is considered to be safer as it does not face high tide and undercurrent very often.

The beach at Puri offers a unique opportunity to witness the striking sunrise and the sunset on the same beach. Like Chandrabhaga beach, there is a lighthouse at Puri beach which remains open from 4 pm to 6 pm. One can get a scenic view of the sea and the beach from the top of the lighthouse.

For food lovers, this is a good place. One can get fried and grilled seafood like prawns, freshly caught from the sea, crabs and pomfrets, along with vegetable pakodas. There are also many handloom and sea-shell shops on the beach. There are various ways in which one can enjoy it.
