Hardly 16 km from Berhampur, the club of Southern Orissa, is the
tiny town of Gopalpur on the Bay of Bengal. Enjoying the reputation of being
a popular Beach Resort of Orissa, the deep and clear blue waters instantly provoke
those who are good swimmers.
This is a perfect beach, fairly isolated, and undisturbed by day-trippers.
This place is good for both sailing and surfing.
White surf splashing on the golden sands makes Gopalpur-on-Sea as one of the
finest beaches on the eastern coast. A fascinating haunt for avid beach combers
and sea worshippers, it is a splendid retreat.
