Chilika Barrier Beach
Right at Satapada, this sandy strip separates Chilika Lagoon from the Bay of Bengal — a genuinely unusual place to spread out a picnic blanket. October through March brings the most pleasant weather for enjoying the open sea air and catching the sunset with the whole group. There was no entry fee at last update, and on-spot cooking is allowed, so you can bring a stove and make a proper day of it. Parking and toilets are on hand, and the whole outing fits comfortably into a half-day.
