Whether you’re seeking solitude, adventure, or a simple picnic spot, these hidden beaches near Visakhapatnam are perfect for your New Year’s getaway.
1. Seethapalem Beach
Located on the outskirts of Vizag, Seethapalem Beach is a calm and untouched paradise. Its isolation and pristine beauty make it one of the most enchanting beaches near the city. Start your journey early to catch the sunrise, a spectacle that truly elevates the experience.
What makes this beach unique is the small hill nearby, perfect for a short trek. The panoramic views from the top capture the surrounding city and landscape in all their glory. Adding to its charm is a fascinating sea cave, an extraordinary feature not found elsewhere in Vizag.
For an even quieter retreat, drive 15 minutes to Lovapalem Beach, a secluded haven nearby.

2. Revupolavaram Beach
If you’re looking for a beach that has both natural beauty and a hint of adventure, Revupolavaram Beach is your go-to destination. Famous for its sunrise and sunset views, this spot exudes a peaceful charm that is enhanced by its clean waters and fresh air.
The beach is home to Shiva and Parvathi idols reminiscent of the ones in Kailasagiri, and it features the iconic Revupolavaram Beach Bridge, which juts out into the sea. While the bridge offers breathtaking views, exercise caution if you decide to walk on it as maintenance may not always be up to standard.
