If you’re coming from Srikakulam Road Station, the state bus service runs a route that stops near Baruva every couple of hours. You can catch that bus to the lighthouse area and then hop on a local auto for the final stretch to the beach. The bus ride takes about an hour and the fare is nominal. If you prefer a bit more comfort, Dolphin Hotel in Visakhapatnam is a good base; it offers a shuttle that can pick you up from the station and drop you near the beach. This setup lets you fit the beach, lighthouse, and a quick Kalingapatnam stop into a single day. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
