Chandipur
Chandipur (16 kms) away from Balasore Railway Station on Howrah-Madras
line of South Eastern ( S.E.) Railways annique beach where the sea
water recedes about 5 kms during low-tide and advances to the shore
line again during high-tides each day. An ideal beach resort of
Orissa.
The swaying casuarina trees and the shimmering waters of this seaside
resort have made Chandipur a favourite haunt for a small coterie
of beach lovers. The uniqueness of Chandipur is that twice a day
its waters recede from the shore a good 5-km away, giving water
revellers the ultimate pleasure of walking into its shallow depths
with fearless abandon.
The beach offers gorgeous views of dynamic seascapes and timeless
dawns. Other places of tourist interest around Balasore are Remuna,
Panchaligeswar, Aradi and Chandaneswar.
