    Chirala Beach is a solid choice the shoreline is quieter than Vetapalem and you can catch a sunset walk without a fee. If you’re already heading that way, a quick stop at the Prakasam Barrage is worth it; locals often bring a picnic and enjoy the river view, especially in the early evening when the light hits the water. For a longer day, the Undavalli Caves are a bit farther but the walk through the limestone formations is free and the scenery is impressive. Kondapalli Fort, while farther still, offers a good hilltop view if you’re passing through the area for the caves.
