Manginapudi Beach is the main beach for Machilipatnam, about 11 km east of the town on the Bay of Bengal. Its dark, firm sand comes from the Krishna delta, and the shallow water near the shore draws local families in the evening. The Machilipatnam lighthouse stands nearby, and the beach is a popular spot for sunrise. Crowds are largest at weekends and during festivals. The sea can turn rough, so stay in shallow water and follow lifeguard and police instructions.
