Chandrabhaga Beach

Chandrabhaga Beach is one of Odisha's most pristine and uncrowded beaches — a beautiful, clean stretch of golden sand at the Chandrabhaga River mouth, 3 km from Konark Sun Temple. Famous for the Magha Saptami pilgrimage when thousands gather at sunrise for ritual bathing, it is far quieter than Puri on ordinary days. A top Konark sightseeing and photography destination with spectacular sunrise views over the Bay of Bengal. Free entry.
