Gopalpur Beach

Coast and Lagoon Beaches and Nature

Gopalpur Beach is a beautiful and popular beach in Odisha’s Ganjam district, located by the calm Bay of Bengal. Just 15 km from Berhampur, this beautiful beach is known for its clean water, peaceful surroundings, and as a nesting place for the endangered Olive Ridley turtles, making it a haven for both nature lovers and beachgoers. Gopalpur offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural charm.
