About Coringa Mangrove Boardwalk
Coringa Mangrove Boardwalk is a wooden walkway inside the Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary near Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh. Located at the Godavari estuary where the river meets the Bay of Bengal, it allows visitors to explore India's second-largest mangrove forest. Notable for its dense mangrove vegetation, estuarine creeks, and rich birdlife, the boardwalk offers close views of the unique coastal ecosystem and serves as a key eco-tourism attraction within the sanctuary.
Visitors guide
Visitors can walk along a wooden boardwalk extending into dense mangrove forest with estuarine creeks and tidal channels on either side. The setting is a flat coastal wetland with salt-tolerant mangrove trees, mudflats and backwaters. Visitors can observe birds, crabs and mangrove vegetation up close, take guided walks and optional boat rides through the creeks, and visit interpretation points within the Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary. The area is natural and relatively undeveloped, focused on nature observation and photography.
