If you can get there around sunrise, the sand is still wet and the light is soft great for a low angle shot of the ridge and Mount Harriet. Check the local tide chart for that day; arriving just after low tide gives a clearer shoreline and a wet sand reflection that adds drama. Staying near Visakhapatnam, the Super Hotel O Suryabagh Near Jagadamba Theater keeps you close to the trailheads.

If you’re only after the palace, a cab is the quickest and keeps you on schedule. The bus runs every 45 minutes, so you’ll likely wait up to 45 minutes for the next departure. A cab takes about 30 minutes, so you can arrive right when the gates open and head straight back without the extra stop over. If you have a few extra minutes, you could drop by White Sands Bay Mandvi for a quick break before heading back.
