About 16 km from Balasore, Chandipur Beach is known for its unusual tidal behaviour where the shoreline retreats noticeably during low tide — timing your visit around this makes for a memorable outing. It's easy to reach, and on-spot cooking is allowed, so packing a picnic spread here is genuinely doable. Toilets and parking are available. There was no entry fee at last update, and October through March offers the most comfortable beach weather.
