Chandrabhaga Beach
Chandrabhaga is situated three km east of the Sun temple of Konark and 30 km from Puri. Chandrabhaga is rich in her marine resources. A large colony of fishermen from Andhra Pradesh beside the dried river mouth represents the typical tribal life of India. The place is renowned for beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
