Chandrabhaga Beach
Feel the rhythm of the Bay of Bengal at Chandrabhaga Beach, where golden sands stretch endlessly and waves invite you to unwind. Stroll along the shore, watch breathtaking sunrises, or let the sea breeze refresh your senses. Known for its serene vibe and spiritual aura, the beach comes alive every year during Magha Saptami (January–February), when thousands gather to celebrate this revered solar festival, rooted in ancient traditions and the legend of Samba, son of Krishna, who was cured of leprosy here. Located just a few kilometers from the UNESCO-listed Konark Sun Temple, Chandrabhaga is also a vibrant hub for creativity, hosting the International Sand Art Festival, where artists from around the world transform the sands into stunning sculptures. A perfect blend of nature, culture, and coastal energy, Chandrabhaga Beach offers an immersive experience for every traveler.
