Best Beaches in Vizag — Your Complete Guide
Visakhapatnam is home to some of India's most beautiful beaches — from the famous RK Beach promenade to quiet hidden coves. Here is your complete guide.
Introduction
Visakhapatnam (Vizag) sits on a stunning stretch of the Bay of Bengal coastline. Whether you seek a vibrant city beach or a quiet stretch of sand, Vizag offers a remarkable range of options.
RK Beach (Ramakrishna Beach)
Vizag's most popular beach is a vibrant promenade lined with food stalls, the submarine museum INS Kursura, and the iconic Lighthouse. Best visited early morning or at sunset.
Rushikonda Beach
About 8 km from the city, Rushikonda is Vizag's best water sports beach. The beach is cleaner than RK and excellent for swimming when sea conditions permit. APTDC operates cottages here.
Bheemunipatnam (Bhimili) Beach
Around 24 km from central Vizag, Bhimili is one of India's oldest surviving Dutch colonial settlements. The beach is calm, uncrowded, and ideal for picnics.
Yarada Beach
A relatively hidden beach surrounded by hills south of the city. Yarada requires a short drive to reach but the isolation makes it ideal for photography and quiet afternoons.
