Mangamaripeta Beach is one such beach that offers not only the opportunity to dip your toes in the ocean and construct sandcastles but also adventure with its water sports.

Mangamaripeta is a small hamlet 16 kilometers south of Visakhapatnam. Its most prominent feature is Thotlakonda, a hill with a Buddhist structure.

The Indian Navy spotted this complex while conducting an airborne reconnaissance at a height of 128 meters above the ground.

The Kalinga Empire is thought to have dominated this region, and the beach functioned as a focal place for propagating Buddhist teachings and values. A Buddhist complex is located on the beach at 128 meters above sea level, encircled by the famed Thotlakonda hill.

Mangamaripeta Arch :

One of the highlights of Visakhapatnam's Mangamaripeta Beach is the natural Mangamaripeta arch, which is a work of art created by nature. Marine geological activity and erosion shaped this arch over the last 6000 years or more.

The arch is made up of Mangamaripeta rocks from the Eastern Ghats that date back 800 to 1,600 million years.

You can walk on this arch while watching the waves break against it, then come back to attempt again. The government has been encouraged by geologists to conserve the arch, which is in risk of being damaged due to high visitor traffic.
