Penthakata Beach
Just 5 km from Puri town, Penthakata Beach is a laid-back fishing-village shore that feels noticeably less crowded than the main beach — a good trade-off for a quieter picnic. October through March is the sweet spot for visiting, and the sunset views from the open shoreline are well worth timing your afternoon around. On-spot cooking is allowed, toilets and parking are in place, and there was no entry fee at last update, so it works well as an easy day trip.
