    Chandipur Beach

    Chandipur Beach tops the list of places of attractions in Chandipur. This mystical beach is one of the wonders of nature. The amazing phenomenon of the water receding the beach within a few minutes and again flooding the beach in another couple of minutes is worth experiencing.

    This happens twice a day due to the high and low tides occurring during a certain interval of time. During low tide, the water recedes away whereas during high tide it again returns.

    The sand dunes and the green Casuarina trees present on the beach add to the captivating scenic beauty of the Chandipur Beach. The red crabs and horse-shoe crabs have made their dwellings in the beach.
