Hardly 16 kms from
Berhampur, the hub of the southern Orissa, is the tiny town of Gopalpur on
the Bay of Bengal. Enjoying the reputation of being a popular beach resort
of Orissa, the deep and clear blue waters instantly provoke those who are
good swimmers. The temptation of bathing here is irresistible No so good
swimmers take the hands of the Nolias (local fishermen who help bathers) and
enjoy a pleasant bath.
Gopalpur was once buzzing with maritime activities which Orissa is known for
ages. It was one of the outlets through which early settlers of South East
Asia sailed off.
A trip to Gopalpur-On-Sea is a rewarding experience of sun and sea, fun and
frolick.
