Coastal Odisha
Ramachandi Beach
A river-mouth beach and goddess shrine roughly midway along the Puri–Konark Marine Drive, popular as a scenic stopover rather than a destination in itself.
Ramachandi sits where the Kushabhadra river meets the sea, with a temple to the goddess Ramachandi on the bank and an open beach beside it. It is one of the most photographed stops on the coastal drive between Puri and Konark, thanks to the combination of river, sea and temple in one frame.
Few visitors stay long — it works best as a 20–30 minute break during the marine drive rather than a planned half-day trip.
Why visit
- River-meets-sea setting on the Puri–Konark Marine Drive
- Riverside Ramachandi goddess temple
- Scenic photography stop
- Quieter than either Puri or Konark's main beaches
Things to do
- Visit the Ramachandi temple
- Walk the river-mouth beach
- Photograph the marine drive coastline
- Short rest stop between Puri and Konark
