Puri: Puri beach is famous for its golden sands, soothing sun-bath and the colourful sunrise and sunset. There you can bathe and laze or enjoy seeing, the local fishermen plying their catamarans and sail boats. This beautiful beach is quite long and wide extending for miles.
Gopalpur-on-sea: 18 kms south-east of Berhampur lies the quiet sea shore town of Gopalpur. It is popular sea-resort especially noted for its surg-swimming, sailing, sun-bathing and extensive sands. North-west of Gopalpur and 50 kms from Berhampur, amidst greens lies Taptapani, famous for its hot water sulphur spring. The water of the spring is channelised to a pond to facilitate bathing.
Balasore & Chandipur: Balasore, the district headquarters, once was an important maritime town in medieval times through the river Budhabalanga. 214 kms, north east of Bhubaneswar, Balasore is convenient base point for excursions to Chandikpur and Remuna. Balasore is also noted for its traditional handicrafts of lacquered toys, brass-works and stone carvings. 16 kms east of Balasore is Chandipur one of the most pleasant beaches of the country. Here the sea, recedes five kilometres at low tide and then flows rhythmically after a regular interval every day. This play of the tide combined with bracing environs make the spot an excellent value.
