Enjoy your beach holiday this time in this beautiful city, "Vizag."
Visakhapatnam also called "Vizag" is in Andhra Pradesh, India. The city lies between the Eastern Ghats and the coast of the Bay of Bengal. Vizag is known for its Picturesque Beaches, oldest port, and serene landscape. Hence the city is also known as "Beach City" & "Port city".
Now I'm going to share some of the most famous beaches in Vizag. Tourists across the world visit this popular destination and enjoy its beauty.
So when you are planning a trip to Visakhapatnam, visit at least a few beaches mentioned here. I hope you enjoy reading this article.
Let's begin.
1. RAMA KRISHNA BEACH (RK Beach)
Ramakrishna beach famously known as "RK beach" lies in the center of the city, and stretches along the shoreline of the Bay of Bengal.
The beach got its name from the Ramakrishna Mission Ashram, which is on the other side of the beach.
People here jog, play sports, and take sunbathe. It's the best place to enjoy yourself with kids, friends, and family.
It also has many places to see around. There is the Kursura Submarine Museum which is the first of its kind in South Asia.
Then you have "Visakha Museum, Aircraft Museum, Kali Temple, Victory at sea war memorial, Park" and many food stalls.
Most of these Museums open after 2 pm. So plan your day accordingly.
2. RUSHIKONDA BEACH
Rushikonda beach is one of the cleanest beaches and was even conferred with the coveted Eco label "BLUE FLAG."
It is a 16 km drive from the city center.
Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) maintains this beach.
This beach is famous for WATER SPORTS. Scuba-diving, Surfing, Kayaking, and Boating are more popular.
Many street foods and restaurants are there right at the beach, along with a few nice resorts.
There is a separate play area and a small park made for kids. This is one of my favorite beaches for its pleasantness and clear water.
Spend a beautiful evening here. Gaze at the sun and the magical blue water. They take away all your stress and transcend you into a different world.
3. BHEEMILI BEACH
Bheemili, also known as "Bheemunipatnam" is 45 km away from the city center. From Rushikonda beach, it's just a straight drive of 16 km.
One can spend their weekend happily here, away from the City life hustle.
This beach is best known as a weekend getaway. You can stay in one of the resorts there and spend some quality time having fun with your family and friends.
This beach is less crowded compared to other beaches in the city. So for those who want a peaceful stay, this can be a brilliant choice for you.
Also, this beach is good for swimming and photoshoots.
Seems like you have already fallen in love with this city.

Okay, now let's see the next most famous beach.
4. YARADA BEACH
This is one of my favorite beaches. I would say it's a must-visit if you are looking for a secluded beach away from the city.
It is one of the calmest beaches, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the Bay of Bengal on the other.
Best for movie shoots and Wedding shoots.
This beach differs greatly from all other beaches that are there in the city. In fact, I haven't seen a beach to date wherein you have to drive up the mountain to reach the beach, which is on the other side. I cannot tell you how much I love this beach. It's just special. The beautiful nature and its stunning view take you to a state of tranquility.
The crowd here is quite less when compared to the other beaches in the city. It might be a bit unsafe if you are going late in the evening.
There are two ways to go to this beach: one via dolphin hill road and another route. Take the help of google maps for the other route.
The most preferred road is a little risky as the road width is tiny and curvy.
If any bus or jeep gets stuck, that's it. You will get stuck in that traffic and it's advisable to visit this beach in the daytime.
In fact, post 6 PM, the police will not permit you to go inside. We faced this issue, so I thought of sharing it so you guys can plan well.
GANGAVARAM BEACH
This is one of the famous beaches with stunning views. People love spending their time here.
Swimming is prohibited here.
At the moment, they stopped visitors including residents entering this beach.
So will update you more on this once there is any change.
You can go to all these beaches either in your vehicle or can hire a cab or by APSRTC bus.
One can visit these beaches throughout the year.
