1. Bheemili Beach
Bheemili Beach is located in the village Bheemunipatnam, which is around 20 kilometres from the city. Although the beach is peaceful given its remote location, it also is bit sooty with black sand.
Stay away from the left part of the beach where fishermen undergo their business and have a good swim on the right side of the beach. Most of the beaches in Vizag are a bit dangerous to play and swim in with their strong winds and high waves. But Bheemili is perfect for swimmers with its steady waves and pleasant wind.
