Astaranga - all beaches

When I visited this beach, there were only 8 people around. I believe it is an undiscovered beach in Odisha. If you enjoy peaceful places, then this is a must-visit. It feels like a private beach. 🏖

You can truly feel the saying, "kabhi kabhi manzil se zyada suffer khubsurat hota h"... But in this case, both the journey and the destination are beautiful. By the way, as mentioned by a guide in the review list, Partha Mukharjee is absolutely right—this beach is not safe for bathing or swimming. However, the road conditions have improved significantly and are now very driveable. You can park your car or bike at the end of the village near the cyclone shelter or school (I can't recall exactly) and then take a short 5-minute walk to reach your destination. The place is peaceful, with zero crowds and no shops. MAKE SURE to return before dark because you'll be passing through a forested area with no streetlights to guide you back to the Balidokan, Konark-Kakatpur road.
