Chandipur |
|
|
Orissa has a
long coastline of over 480 Km on the
Bay of Bengal interspersed by a
couple of lovely beaches. Added to
their seductive beauty is a vast
hinter land of antiquities and holy
shrines. Backed up by musical sway
of casuarina trees and creepered
sand dunes, Chandipur is one such
beach, but with a unique distinction
of its own. Unlike other beaches
,the sea water hear recedes away
from the shore line about five km
twice a day, an unusual phenomenon,
rarely found anywhere. You can see
the sea literally vanishing before
your eyes and also watch it coming
back rhythmically at regular
intervals, as if playing hide and
seek. |

Elsewhere, the waves come and go
dashing on the shore like mad
caps but here they are like a
musical fountain, soothing to
the eyes and ears. Elsewhere,
the waters wait for the visitors
but here the visitors have to
wait for the waters. Elsewhere,
the waves go wild and the
visitors |

calm vat here
the ecstasy of visitors will go
wild while the waves remain
calm.This marvel of Nature gives
the bathers an unexpected
pleasure of fearlessly walking
into the sea and happily playing
with the waves. When the waters
disappear, you can even take
jeep ride on the widest beach.
The beauty of the exposed bosom
of the beach is further enhanced
by the small red crabs. If a
beach comber, you will be
delighted with its abundant
wealth of sea shells and drift
wood. |
