The long coastal
belt of Orissa offers
some of the finest
white sand beaches
in the world. The
Puri beach is the
main venue for countless
pilgrims, and makes
one of the major religiously
sacred beach side
spots of India. The
seaside beach resort
of Chandipur is another
favourite seaside
holiday hideout among
beach lovers. Gopalpur-On-Sea,
an ancient seaport,
is one of the most
beautiful and unspoiled
beaches one should
definitely visit,
when taking touring
Orissa's beaches.
