Balighai Beach near Puri
A quiet, casuarina-fringed beach on the Marine Drive
If the main beach feels too busy, Balighai is the antidote — a calm, casuarina-fringed shore about 8 km from Puri along the Konark Marine Drive, near the mouth of the Nuanai river.
Why go
- Peaceful sands and shady casuarina groves
- A scenic drive along the Marine Drive to get there
- Close to the sea turtle research area
Good to know
Facilities are limited, so carry water and snacks; it's best as a quiet picnic spot.
