Orissa has a long coastline of over 480 kms on the Bay of Bengal interspersed by a couple of lovely beaches. Added to their seductive beauty is a vast hinter land of antiquities and holy shrines. Backed up by Musical sway of Casuarinas trees and creepered sand dunes, Chandipur is one such beach, but with a unique distinction of its own. Unlike other beaches, the sea water hare recedes away from the shore line about 5 kms twice a day, an unusual phenomenon. Chandipur is situated at a distance of 16 kms from Balasore.

The marvel of nature gives the bathers an unexpected pleasure of fearlessly walking into the sea and happily plying with the waves. When the water disappears, you can even take the jeep ride on the widest beach.
