Astaranga Beach

Astaranga Beach is a sandy coastal stretch on the Bay of Bengal at Astaranga village in Puri district, Odisha, about 60 km from Puri town. Known for its long shoreline, casuarina plantations and active fishing harbor, it remains relatively uncrowded compared to Puri and Konark beaches. The beach lies near the mouth of the Devi River and is noted for sunrise and sunset views, traditional fishing boats and a tranquil rural coastal setting.

Visitors can expect a long, wide sandy beach lined with casuarina groves and fishing boats along the Bay of Bengal. The setting is quiet and rural with an active fishing harbor, views of the Devi River mouth, and open horizons for sunrise and sunset. There are no large resorts or commercial beach developments; visitors can walk along the shoreline, observe fishing activity, take photographs and enjoy picnicking in a relatively secluded natural coastal environment.

Astaranga is a traditional fishing settlement where the local fishing community and its daily harbor activities form the cultural character of the beach area.
