Konark Beach is one of the most popular as well as most magnificent
tourist attractions of Orissa. It is located at a distance of three km
from the famous Sun Temple and is known for its amazing views of sunset
and sunrise, which are so enchanting that they cannot be described in
mere words. You can also catch a glimpse of the local fishing fleet. If
you want to relax or soak in the sun, then Konark beach is the ideal
destination for you.
The beach stretches over a large area and allows visitors to undertake
long, soothing walks. The ambience is so serene that for a few moments,
you completely forget the tensions of everyday life. A visit to this
place is the perfect way to revitalize your energy and re-energize your
spirits. Swimming at the Konark Beach is not really advisable, as the
waves come with a great force sometimes, which may prove quite dangerous
for you.
Located on the eastern coast of India, Konark beach holds the
distinction of being one of the finest beaches of the world. It is
bordered by clean white sands. Located nearby is the pond where Samba,
the son of Lord Krishna, was cured of leprosy. On the festive occasion
of 'Magha Saptami Mela', people come to the Konark beach, from
various parts of the country, to take a dip in its holy waters. The
beach looks marvelous, especially during the evening when it is
illuminated.
