not swim in those sea shores. A breathtaking sea shore just local people know
about is known as the "Yarada" sea shore. Sadly, aside from a
periodic RTC transport, there is no open vehicle accessible. In any case, the
gutsy brain would think that its fulfilling in the event that it can put forth
an attempt to arrive. There is no compelling reason to pay anything to visit
and have a flawless perspective on the sea shores.

as is all the more prevalently known as, R.K. Sea shore is the most famous sea
shore in the city as in, you can discover local people hanging out during the

the Dolphin's Nose. To get to this sea shore, one could utilize the transport
office accessible or on the other hand one could likewise employ a taxi to
arrive. The perspective on the sea shore and Vizag city from the highest point
of the Dolphin's Nose is critical. Additionally, the Gangavaram sea shore is
closer from Yarada sea shore. The drive from Scindia to the highest point of
Dolphin's Nose, Dolphin's Nose to Yarada and from that point to Gangavaram is
truly charming.

late a water sports focus was begun in Rishikonda. Vizag's sea shores are ideal
and untainted without the laces and likes of a global sea shore resort like Goa

on being, with the inundation of workers of HSBC, HPCL, and so forth, and Naval
Officers, who as often as possible go out with their families to appreciate the
brilliant sand and contamination free waters of Vizag's sea shores
