Rushikonda Beach
రుషికొండ బీచ్
A Blue Flag beach about 10 km north of the city, with golden sand against green hills; the best spot in Vizag for swimming, surfing and water sports.
Rushikonda Beach sits on the northern stretch of the coastal road and earned International Blue Flag certification in 2020. Its sand is clean, and facilities include lifeguards, showers and changing rooms. The waves here are moderate, making it one of the few places in Andhra Pradesh for surfing, jet skiing, banana boat rides and other water sports, and there is a surf school. Behind the beach, Rushikonda Hill is home to resort hotels with views over the bay. Swim only in the designated areas, and watch the lifeguards' flag signals. It is about 25 minutes by taxi from RK Beach, and entry is free.
