Afternoon Drive to Rishikonda Beach, Vizag

After finishing our scheduled landmark visits, I made my way to Rishikonda Beach, one of the more famous tourist attractions of Vishakhapatnam.

Rishikonda Beach is situated on the marine drive and is about 15 kilometres from the heart of the city.

Unlike the other beaches of Vizag, the Rishikonda beach is safe for swimming and one can indulge in water sports.

The Rishikonda beach, which in itself is pristine, is set amidst beautifully green hills. On one side of the beach are popular health and spa resorts. While, on the far side, one can see bungalows situated on small hills and the IT park of Infosys and Sutherland technologies in the far background.

The entire place was bustling with people and there was lot of opportunity for them to go into a shopping frenzy at the beach side shacks selling variety of wares including ornaments made out of sea shells.
