We all know that due to the effect of the tides the level of the oceans rises and falls on the beaches, but have you never seen a beach recede before your eyes? Well, although it sounds strange, this is more than possible in the India, more precisely in the Chandipur beach.
The biblical image of Moses opening the waters of the Red Sea could even come to mind, since the surprising phenomenon that occurs in this Hindu locality is very similar, and the most curious thing is that it only happens within a few seconds.
La chandipur beach It is located on the Bay of Bengal, in the state of Odisha, and constitutes one of the main attractions of the town of Balasore, which is only 10 kilometers away.
But in addition to its extension and the possibility of enjoying an afternoon at the beach in a quiet environment without overcrowding, the main attraction of Chandipur beach is the fact that the ocean, with each low tide, is capable of receding to a distance of 5 kilometers from the beach, revealing what until then was the seabed, but now it can easily be walked and explored on a whim, being able to discover shells, snails and even the friendly red crabs that abound in the area.
This phenomenon, which occurs twice a day in just a few minutes of time, making it perfectly visible to the naked eye, occurs only in Chandipur. But although there is no doubt about the spectacular nature of this event, luckily for some, chandipur beach It is not one of the most visited places in the state, which has allowed an atmosphere of tranquility and relaxation to reign in the place.
