Suryalanka Beach | Bapatla Beach in a Day | Unexplored Beach Near Vijayawada and Guntur.

When you’re thinking of Chirala or Bapatla Beach one day trips, you’re probably considering Surya Lanka Beach, Chirala Beach, SeaBreeze, Haritha resorts, or the Pandurangapuram beach. While those are rightfully incredible destinations, there’s more to Bapatla than just these popular sites.

We have recently discovered a Peaceful beach which is located around the East coast of India in a small village called Kothawadarevu, Near Pandurangapuram. It  is a remote path/route and it’s almost a private beach as left unexplored by the travelers. It’s just around 5 Km’s to Pandurangapuram Beach and just beside Golden Sands resort. It is an un-named beach in Google maps, so kindly follow the below instructions to reach this Beach. If you are a kind of person who likes to go to the beach, stroll around, and relax then this is the kind of beach you are looking for as it has only the Beach, very less Boats and fishermen. If you are planning to stay overnight then we would suggest you to book a room in the Golden Sands resort beside the Beach.

Address:

Kothawadarevu, Near Pandurangapuram

Bapatla Mandal, Guntur Dist. Andhra Pradesh, India.

This beach is around 5 Km’s to Pandurangapuram Beach which is another popular beach in the area. This beach has a few restaurants and fishermen and  if you would like to travel light or visit two or more places in a day, you can even try haritha resorts and the Surya lanka beach and complete many places around Baptla Beach in a day
