At a distance of ten kilometers from the beach , the Ramchandi Temple is situated. The beach offers great view for sunrise and sunset and also great opportunities for fishing. The famous Sun Temple is situated at a distance of three kilometers from the beach. It is more calm and quiet than the beach in Puri and is ideal for sunbath.
