Dublagadi Bagda Sea Beach is an undiscovered treasure in Orissa. The dense unspoiled beach is surrounded by a thick untouched forest of Tamarix trees.

During the night, you can listen to the sound of waves while gazing at the twinkling sky. On the new moon night, you might be able to experience a magical phenomenon known as a blue wave/blue tide. During this phenomenon, the luminescent glowing waves enlighten the beach. This happens when phytoplankton produces light as a result of a chemical reaction with dissolved Phosphorus in seawater.

Here you can also see the majestic view of the sunrise at Dublagadi Bagda Sea Beach, turning the white sands into scarlet red.

During the day, you can spend time in the sea while being embraced by the crashing waves on the shore. While strolling along the long sandy beach, you can spot some red crabs.

The local tribal communities are very friendly and cheerful. You can choose to interact with them, learn a lot about fishing, and even help them lay their nets on the seashore.

If you’ve never been to a fish ranch before, you could also go to the local Bagda Market (Macher Arot). You can buy fish from the fish farms, fry them and eat them. The combination of the fried fish and Kasundi/sauce accompanied by the scintillating breeze from the sea is a heavenly combo, and I guess everyone would agree with that.
