Chandrabhaga Beach : Where Every Sunset Feels Personal

A Crescent of Silver Sand & Gentle Waves

To begin with, Chandrabhaga curves gracefully like a perfect crescent, almost resembling Lord Krishna’s smile. The sand feels soft like powdered sugar and stays cool even during late afternoons. Additionally, the water remains shallow for nearly 100 metres, making it safe and enjoyable for both children and non-swimmers.

Moreover, families appreciate this shoreline because it balances serenity with safety. There are no overwhelming crowds, no pushy vendors—only the steady rhythm of gentle waves.

The Magical Sunset That Changes Every Mood

As the evening approaches, the real beauty unfolds around 4:30 PM. The sun grows large and golden, gradually sinking into the Bay of Bengal. Furthermore, the entire scene transforms into a vibrant palette of colours:

• The sky glows with shades of pink, purple, and orange
• Fishing boats appear as moving silhouettes
• The dunes near the Sun Temple reflect a warm copper hue

My husband and I have been married for 12 years, yet every sunset here still fills us with butterflies. We sit quietly, holding hands, watching the sun disappear into the sea. Even the people around us fall silent, simply because certain views are too sacred for noise.

Rare “Double Sunrise” Moonrise Phenomenon

On full-moon nights, the moon rises directly opposite the setting sun. Consequently, you witness a mesmerising golden orb rising just as another descends. Photographers, travellers, and newlyweds often plan special trips to experience this rare and breathtaking moment.
