The salty tang of the sea air mingles with the faint scent of drying fishnets as you step onto Chepala Uppada Beach. This isn't your typical resort-lined coast; instead, you're greeted by the vibrant, unvarnished rhythm of a working fishing village. Tucked away between the more frequented stretches of Mangamaripeta and Bheemili in Visakhapatnam, Chepala Uppada offers a truly authentic slice of coastal Andhra Pradesh.
The beach itself is a broad, inviting expanse of soft, golden sand, ideal for leisurely strolls and comfortable sunbathing. The waters here are generally calm and shallow near the shore, making it a safe and enjoyable spot for families with children to wade and play. While not known for significant surf, the gentle lapping waves provide a soothing soundtrack to a day spent unwinding. OnlyBeaches highlights its appeal for those seeking a tranquil escape with a strong local flavour.
