Day out at Rishikonda beach...

Vast Bay of Bengal at Rishikonda Beach

On a Sunny afternoon in December, we had made a plan for outing, for which beach was a perfect day out destination. Also, it was one month since we moved to Vizag, India and surprisingly had not been to beach...


After having our lunch at Sea Inn, a small hut with delicious non-veg delicacies near Rishikonda Beach, we headed towards the beach.

To our surprise, normally calm and deserted beach was so crowded because of Sunday in Karthik. I came to know then that the Karthik month [eighth month of Lunar calendar which Hindus follow] is also Picnic time :)

We were welcomed by small merry go round, lots of corn stalls, and other vendors selling street food. Again this was not expected as last time when I have been to this place [ which was before 2 yrs], it was always calm and serene and not at all commercialized.

While walking on the beach, we went on the other side which is usually less crowded. This side of beach is rocky and not safe for swimming but a nice place to enjoy the walk along side beach. We spotted many of the below blue jelly fishes along the coast.

A movie @ Varun Beach Inox was a refreshing end to our wonderful day :)
