The land of
the golden beaches was just over half a century ao a small
fishing village. One would be amazed at the manner in which
this port city with a natural harbour developed into one of
the fastest growing cities in Asia.Vast stretches of beaches
right next to the city on one side and undulating green
hills on the other have made Vizag, as it is endearingly
called, a tourist haven.
An ideal destination, it caters to the religiousminded, the
Buddhist pilgrim, the fun-lovers and adventure-seekers. A
number of beaches and a long stretch of road along the
sea-shore up to Bheemunipatnam town, the second oldest
municipality in the country, are a pleasure to experience.
