Why This Visakhapatnam Beach Is Popular Among Travellers

The coconut trees have been strategically planted at five spots along the coast.

How many times have you and your friends made plans for Goa and cancelled it at the last moment? Last-moment cancellations of Goa plans have become a source of fun, jokes and memes for the Desi diaspora but if you are living in Andhra Pradesh, you can enjoy the same alluring beauty of Goa in Visakhapatnam itself.

Visakhapatnam, known for its stunning coastal beauty, offers numerous scenic spots to explore. Among these, Sagar Nagar Beach stands out as a favourite destination among travellers. As summer arrives, tourists flock to this beach from various states, reminiscent of Goa’s allure during the monsoon.

Coconut trees gracefully sway on Sagar Nagar Beach, adding to its charm, especially during the rainy season. However, the beach was not always adorned with coconut trees. Earlier, during summertime, footfall at the beach was less due to the scorching summer sun.

Sunray Resorts, a popular resort in Visakhapatnam then sought permission from the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) to plant coconut trees along the beach to attract tourists. They received permission and the endeavour worked like a charm.

Tourists now enjoy the picturesque view beneath these coconut trees, whether they visit during the day, evening, or twilight hours. The trees add a unique charm to the beach, enticing tourists to capture the beauty in selfies while relishing the youthful ambience and indulging in fresh coconut water.

The coconut trees, strategically planted at five spots along the coast, draw visitors who seek to admire the beach’s beauty, go for strolls, or enjoy evening outings by the shore. Tourists express delight in relaxing under the shade of these coconut trees, especially as the refreshing breeze from the Visakha Sagar coast drifts gently across. At night, the coconut trees have a charm of their own as they are adorned with electric lights which make them look very beautiful and aesthetic.
