Reading live conditions…

The morning sun casts a golden sheen across the fine, pale sand of Donkuru Beach, stretching peacefully along the Bay of Bengal. This isn't a bustling resort destination, but rather a quiet sanctuary, offering a genuine taste of coastal Andhra Pradesh. Its strategic location near the northern border makes it an invaluable discovery for travelers navigating the Odisha-Andhra transition, providing a distinct experience without the crowds found elsewhere. The beach itself is characterized by its soft, inviting sand, making it perfect for leisurely strolls and comfortable sun bathing. The waters here are typically calm and clear, offering a safe and enjoyable environment for swimming, especially for families with children. You won't find significant surf, but rather gentle waves that lap at the shore, creating a soothing soundtrack to your visit. OnlyBeaches proudly awards Donkuru Beach an OBI score of 9.6, placing it firmly in our Tier 1 category for its exceptional tranquility and natural beauty. The best time to visit is during the early mornings or late afternoons when the light is soft, and the temperatures are most pleasant, ideal for capturing stunning photographs or simply unwinding. Donkuru Beach caters to those who appreciate understated beauty – families looking for a safe, uncrowded spot, sun bathers seeking peace, and travelers keen to discover authentic local charm. A local tip: keep an eye out for the small, informal stalls that occasionally pop up near the northern end, offering incredibly fresh, locally caught seafood.
