Chandipur-on-sea
Chandipur-on-sea is a unique beach town in the Balasore district of Odisha, located about 16 kilometers from Balasore city on the Bay of Bengal coast. Its most remarkable feature is the "vanishing sea" phenomenon, where the water recedes up to 5 kilometers during low tide, allowing visitors to walk on the exposed sea bed.
This rare natural event occurs twice a day and supports rich biodiversity, including horseshoe crabs, starfish, and red crabs. The beach is calm and less commercialized, making it an ideal spot for peaceful walks, picnics, and enjoying the coastal scenery away from crowds. Chandipur is also known for its fresh seafood, with local shacks serving specialties like fried prawns and pomfrets.
Near the beach, the Balaramgadi fishing harbor and the meeting point of the Budhabalanga River with the sea add to the attraction. A part of the beach is used as a missile launching site by the Indian Army’s Defense Research and Development Organization, combining natural beauty with scientific significance.
The area hosts the annual Chandipur Festival, featuring cultural programs and sports activities, attracting visitors seeking both tranquility and local culture.
