Golapur Beach
One of the most pristine beaches of Orissa, this small beach is a splendid retreat for sea worshippers, located about 16-km from Berhampur. Once a humming seaport, Gopalpur offers its visitors a slice of serenity in environs that are conducive to introspection and conviviality.



One can still see the crumbling walls and pillars of the jetty, witness to its past glory of commercial activity. The pleasures of the Blue Beach and the Blue Bay of her backwaters continue to lure the water babies. Gopalpur-on-Sea is a surfer's delight and excellent for sailing.

The Gopalpur-On-Sea beach derives its name from the Hindu God 'Gopal', one of the many names of Lord Krishna.

While at the Gopalpur-On-Sea beach unwind yourself in the sun, sea, surf and the sand. The lazy sun soaked holiday at the Gopalpur-On-Sea may be spent by strolling on the soft sands on the shore, collecting seashells from the shore or the pearly white conch. The scintillating sunrise and the sunset add to the beauty of the beach.
