One of the best beaches in Vishakapatnam, getting to Divis Beach is quite a task but totally worth it because of its iconic bridge. The pathway to the beach is quite narrow and the beach itself is quite sandy and tough to walk. But once you get to the Divis Bridge, find yourself taking umpteen photographs. It's a secluded beach and even on weekends, you'll barely find 15-20 peeps.

Surrounded by hills and rocky terrains, Gangavaram Beach is a true delight for beach lovers. Go here for a picnic or gawk at the coastline. There's a Krishna Temple perched on top of a hill near this beach, and if you've got time, plan a visit here for a devotional experience. This beach is quite secluded too and it's surrounded by palm trees. We recommend planning a visit when it's not too dark.
