This beach is also good, and you can enjoy bathing here. The water is clean. But to me, Yarada is a clear winner. You can buy items like hats, ladies shell earings, necklace, etc.

Nice cool beach! We had a great time playing in the water but there is a lot of scope to improve in terms of shacks for food and all.

A silent beach and a mesmerizing beach. Can be rated as one of the best beaches in India. The specialty of rushikonda beach are its huge oak trees and the sandy beach. Away from the sounds of city but easily reachable.
