Nizampatnam Beach

Nizampatnam Beach is a coastal beach located in Nizampatnam town in Bapatla district of Andhra Pradesh, along the Bay of Bengal. Known for its long sandy shoreline, active fishing harbour and views of fishing boats, the beach is part of a historic port settlement once used by the Dutch. It offers a quiet, rural coastal setting with mangrove patches and is visited for sightseeing, beach walks and observing local fishing activity.

Visitors can expect a long, flat sandy beach on the Bay of Bengal with a working fishing harbour, anchored fishing boats and trawlers, and views of the estuary and mangrove areas. The setting is rural and relatively undeveloped with open shoreline for walking, photography and sunset views. There are small local shops and fishing activity near the harbour, but limited commercial tourist development.

Nizampatnam was a historic port town on the Coromandel Coast. It was known as Peddapalli and later Nizampatnam after coming under the Nizam's control. The Dutch East India Company established a factory and port here in the 17th century, using it as a trading settlement before its importance declined.

The beach and harbour are central to the local fishing community's livelihood and culture. Fishing, boat building and related activities shape daily life in Nizampatnam, and the harbour area reflects traditional coastal Andhra fishing traditions.
