Gopalpur

Gopalpur is a charming coastal town in Odisha’s Ganjam district, set at sea level about 170 kilometres south of Bhubaneswar along the Bay of Bengal. The manageable Gopalpur distance from the capital makes it an easy yet refreshing escape. Once a thriving Gopalpur port that exported indigo, salt, and rice to Southeast Asia in the 19th century, the town still carries echoes of its maritime past. Today, Gopalpur beach is loved for its long, uncrowded shoreline and soothing views of the Gopalpur sea. Casuarina groves sway behind the sands, while colonial era bungalows and a climbable lighthouse add character. Unlike busier destinations, Gopalpur sea beach feels relaxed and unhurried. A select range of Gopalpur hotels and intimate Gopalpur beach resort options line the shore, and choosing a cozy Gopalpur beach hotel enhances the old world seaside vibe.
