Puri Beach
Countless pilgrims over a
millennia have taken a holy dip while visiting the Jagannath Temple at Puri's
lovely beach which is one of the best beaches not only in Orissa but also in the
country.
The crashing surf around the conically hated fishermen make an endearing picture
to carry home. The brilliant sunshine gilds the waters as the day awakens and at
eventide, creating an aura of almost unrealistic sanctity of the beauty trailing
in their wake. The currents are pretty strong here, so swimmers need to take
care.
Balighai Beach, about 8 km away, is
relatively quieter, and if you are lucky you may even spot the residential deer
browsing through the undergrowth near the beach.
