Hyderabad | 23rd November 2007
Suryalanka....nearest beach from Hyderabad
Overview of the destination
A quite, hidden pristine clean beach on the east coast..the closest to Hyderabad at less than 400kms away is Suryalanka. Not many people know of this place; the state tourism department is the only one to offer a fantastic beach side resort. So you have the beach practically for yourselves, with the waves a few meters away.....you just walk into the sea from your room in a jiffy. Otherwise enjoy the fantastic sight of the waves and waters to the horizon from the balcony of your room; or enjoy the sea breeze from the pergola just by the beach. For just a few weeks in November, schools of Dolphins can be spotted at about a kilometer away from the beach .......this was the only place in India I saw Dolphins in the wild so close.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping
This is definitely not for the ones looking for the typical touristy thing or a shoppers paradise. There is only the resort with basic good clean AC rooms and the fantastic sea and beach. Chill with an even chilled beer intercepting it with sumptuous andhra preparation of fish, prawn, crabs et all....hot spicy food with chilled beer on the sea side....I wouldn't ask for more. The more adventurous types can go on long walks by the sea or venture into the surrounding fishing village or better still the wilderness by the seaside. When in the restaurant, stick to the local andhra preparations...thats what they make best....great spicy hot curries, hot sambar, rasam and not to miss the array of chutneys!!!

Activities & things to do
Sun, sand and sea!!!! Play in the waves, swim if you dare, make sand castles, bury your friends under dunes of sand, get a tan, trek along the sea, explore the beach for red crabs, lovely shells, driftwood etc. During november, get up early to see the Dolphins play with each other so close to the shore. In other months, be a apart of the fishermen getting the daily catch in. Evenings are for some beach games or a bonfire by the shore.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Reach Guntur by either road or rail; Suryalanka is about 40 kms from there. The railhead is Bapatla and the beach is 7 kms from the town.
