hide and seek of water, the Casuarina trees and creeper sand dunes
seem to be swaying on a melodious musical note. The bbeach is also
in close proximity to certain other places of tourist interest
namely Remuna, Panchalingeswar, Aradi and Chandaneswar.

and creepered white sand dunes add to its seductive beauty.

recedes up to 5 km daily at low tide and chasing the waves in a
jeep, when the sea retreats is unforgettable. When the tide is in,
locals trawl for small fish along the coast. The serene and peaceful
landscape of Chandipur captivates the visitor.
Easily reachable by auto rickshaw or taxi from Balasore, the
