Paradip is one of the most important commercial ports of the country. The beach with green forest cover, natural creeks and an island is one of the most popular beaches of the state.Clear blue waters surrounded by green forest cover and its location at the confluence of the river Mahanadi with Bay of Bengal, makes Paradip one of the most sought after beaches of the state. A leisurely drive along the marine drive with the setting sun in the horizon is one of the highlights of this beautiful beach destination of Odisha. The sight of huge cargo ships anchored in the port always entices the photographers for that one perfect shot for posterity.
