This southern stretch of Kothapatnam stands apart as a serene sanctuary, a deliberate step away from the more frequented areas, offering a truly local and authentic beach experience. OnlyBeaches recognizes its unique appeal for those who value quiet contemplation over crowded shores. The beach itself boasts soft, golden sands that are ideal for long, reflective strolls and comfortable sun bathing. The waters here are typically calm and shallow, making it a safe and inviting environment for families with children to swim and play without strong currents. It's not a surf destination, but rather a place for gentle wading and enjoying the soothing rhythm of the waves. The best time to visit is during the early morning hours when the beach is at its most peaceful, or in the late afternoon to witness breathtaking sunsets that paint the sky in vibrant hues. This beach is particularly suited for families seeking a safe, uncrowded environment, and for travelers keen on authentic local discovery away from typical tourist paths. OnlyBeaches rates it highly for its calm ambiance and family-friendly waters. A local tip: after a refreshing dip, seek out the informal vendors often found near the access points.
