Rushikonda Beach - Vishakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh)

Rushikonda Beach and Hills, is loveliest beach, down the coast towards Bhimili. Rushikonda beach is ideal for swimming and surfing. The beach-cum-hills is located at a distance of 8 kms from Vishakhapatnam (also known as Vizag) on the Vishakhapatnam - Bhimunipatnam beach road. Unspoiled golden sand quenched by the sun-drenched waters of a tranquil sea. If you are a water sports lover then, the golden beach of Rushikonda is the best beach for you to enjoy water skiing and wind surfing. You can spend hours on this beach. One of the interesting aspects on Rushikonda beach is that even though the wells are near the sea they do not contain saline water. On this beach you can also visit Sri Sapta Rushiswara Temple of 14th century surrounded by seven hills. Overall Rushikonda is an ideal destination. There are lodges, cottages, and restaurants on the beach and at the end of a grueling session you can always chill out at the bar cum restaurant attached to the cottage.
