Talpona Beach
A wide beach by the mouth of the Talpona River, connected to Rajbag Beach to the north. It is almost deserted, making it ideal for walks and watching the sunset.
Talpona Beach lies south of Patnem, on the north bank of the Talpona River mouth. Together with Rajbag Beach to the north, which has a large resort hotel, it forms a flat stretch of sand about 2 km long. There are no rows of beach huts or boatmen touting for business. In the evening, you may see only fishermen and grazing cattle, which makes it good for long walks, jogging, and photographing sunsets. At the river mouth, there is a small fishing harbor where you can watch boats come in. At low tide, you can walk here from Patnem along the coast, or ride a motorbike about 15 minutes along a country road. There are no lifeguards, and the currents near the river mouth are complex, so swimming is not recommended.
