Reviewed By safat_23 - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

Vizag is a lovely city and always has been my favourite, this was my third trip to vizag and i visited this offbeat beach away from the city, the beach is isolated and offers a great view of the dolphin nose. You might have to change 2 buses from the main bus stand to reach there

Tenneti Park

Reviewed By BeingShiv - Chennai (Madras), India

This is such a lovely pitspot to take some great pics and get some fabulous views of the sprawling coastlines of Vizag. if you are every driving down from Rishikonta, stop and drop by and you will regret it. You have an Arakku Valley Coffee counter across the road that sells some great freshly brewed coffee made from the Arakku valley produce. I had 3 coffees while waiting for friends and also brought home some packs. Great Views and Bonus - Great coffee ! :) It is a very well maintained park and was extremely clean considering the huge footfall it attracts.
