Orissa's lovely beaches have been one of nature's best kept secrets. The lapping ivaters of tbe Hay of Bengal pay bomage to tbeir beauty along ibe 482 km coastline while creating delightful estuaries and intimate pools among the craggy projections along the bay.

White grained and infinitely seductive, most of the popular beaches are a stone's throw from some of the most fantastic forms of man's artistic expressions, tbe beautifully sculpted temples and shrines, tbat Orissa is renowned for. As tbe word spreads, even foreign tourists are becoming regulars at these lovely sunkissed belts of pleasure and beauty.
