Chandipur
Its' not far from railway heads or National Highway, yet it's far from the madding crowd. The rustic sea with magically yet regularly retreating waves and the careless loneliness makes it attractive for those who enjoys the company of the beautiful and quiet sea.
The place is calm and quiet. The place is safe and peaceful. The place is warm and beautiful.
Nearest Town is Balasore, which is a big railway station and connected by various trains to Kolkata, Chennai, Bhubaneswar, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kharagpur, Vizag, Delhi, Kanpur and many other important cities in India.

The oriya food of this regioin is famous. You must try fried fishes and crabs of different types near the sea beach stalls. They are cheaper here compared to the big cities.
