It is about 8kms to the east of Puri on the Marine Drive. This casuarina-fringed beach is a famous picnic spot too. One can watch the shy Baliharina deer here. The Sea Turtle Research Centre is another attraction of this beach.
The juxtaposition of gentle casuarina-lined river with crashing, desolate ocean coast is a strange and extremely beautiful one.
