Manginapudi Beach is located at a distance of eleven kilometers from Machilipatnam in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh. The beach has a natural bay and moderately shallow and safe waters. The beach was a flourishing place in ancient times. Instead of sand, the beach is covered with black soil. The beach has casuarinas trees on its fringes. A well-maintained park with a fountain makes the beach the perfect place for visitors. The nearest airport is at Vijayawada, which is at a distance of eighty-five kilometers.
The scenic beauty of the beach enhances the tourist quotient of the beach and is the ideal place to relax far from the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day life. During Kartika Purnima, thousands of devotees take a dip in the holy sea every year. On the seashore, Dattashram is a popular pilgrimage site where there is temple of Lord Shiva.
