Now I can access the photos on my camera card it is time to write about Gopalpur-on-the sea. We could not decide why it is known as a sea beach. Maybe because there are other types of beaches?

Gopalpur is emerging as an up and coming tourist seaside resort. There are heaps of new buildings going up.
