Very clean and maintained, completely opposite of how the original Golden beach is now.If you like the hullabaloo and love people watching and shopping experience in a beach, this is NOT for you. If you prefer to just sit on the sand and enjoy some time alone, this is the perfect place.Bathing option is still not yet available, needed some more loo and shower options, considering the ticket amount charged.It would have been better to have the access road from parking rather than some hotel.Love to visit again again.

Cleanest best ever been to in India. Cleaning staff is meticulous. Bathrooms are spotless. There is entry fee of 20 Rs which is totally justified for all the hardwork being put in. Only lacuna is lack of much amenities. Wish there were more options to chill out. But still a great place to be sit and relax.

This Beach was Clean, less crowded, had safety parameters. A photogenic person would definitely like this beach, but you cannot take a bath here, that is why i gave 3 stars. Otherwise the place is really nice, you must visit once.

Puri is a coastal city and a municipality in the state of Odisha in eastern India. It is the district headquarters of Puri district and is situated on the Bay of Bengal, 60 kilometres (37 mi) south of the state capital of Bhubaneswar. It is also known as Sri Jagannatha Dhama after the 12th-century Jagannath Temple located in the city. It is one of the original Char Dham pilgrimage sites for Hindus.Puri is known by several names since the ancient times, and was locally known as Sri Kshetra and the Jagannath temple is known as Badadeula. Puri and the Jagannath Temple were invaded 18 times by Muslim rulers, from the 7th century AD till the early 19th century with the objective of looting the treasures of the temple. Odisha, including Puri and its temple, were part of British India from 1803 till India attained independence in August 1947. Even though princely states do not exist in India today, the heirs of the House of Gajapati still perform the ritual duties of the temple. The temple town has many Hindu religious mathas or monasteries.The economy of Puri is dependent on the religious importance of the Jagannath Temple to the extent of nearly 80 percent. The 24 festivals, including 13 major ones, held every year in the temple complex contribute to the economy; Ratha Yatra and its related festivals are the most important which are attended by millions of people every year. Sand art and applique art are some of the important crafts of the city.Puri has been chosen as one of the heritage cities for Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY) scheme of Government of India.

The Blue Flag is a certification by the Foundation for Environmental Education that a beach, marina, or sustainable boating tourism operator meets its standards. The Blue Flag is a trademark owned by FEE which is a not-for-profit non-governmental organisation consisting of 65 organisations in 60 member countries.This place made me very happy as i was just in my dreams

This is extremely well maintained and managed beach. They should get more food shops and should allow limited people. Government should develop more beaches like this. This should get a bigger car parking in the area. This place is great for kids and families. The place is extremely clean and a team of clean group are behind. This is placed in a fine location which is easily accessible.

Review №14

Beautiful sandy beach and quite clean. Sea is rough but good to have a bath. Parking is decent but considering the crowd needs to be better managed. They charge Rs. 20 per person above 10 years old for entry. Beautiful beach for those who wants the waves a bit hard unlike Goa which is smooth and docile except during monsoon.Amenities needs to be improved like food, recreation etc.Odisha has much better natural beauty and resources as compared to Singapore and I am sure that politicians and bureaucrats have visited it many a times, but why they cannot create something like that or much better is an enigma.Crowd in Puri was too much considering holidays etc.

Lovely... After a long time seeing some changes in Puri. Very well maintained, clean and reasonable. The parking fee for vehicle is very nominal and the entrance is just ₹20/- for 3hrs (children below 10 is free). With all awesome facilities like Washroom (toilets), changing room, shower room, seating arrangements with shed, childrens park, lifeguards, jogging path. Very safe for family and children. Its a no smoking zone, so its totally eco friendly. A must visit.

The Copenhagen-based Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) granted the prestigious Blue Flag certification  to Golden Beach in Puri, besides seven other sea beaches in the country. The Golden Beach is the first beach in the state to get this tag.The state government hopes the Blue Flag certification would give a significant boost to tourism in the state.

The 800-metre long Golden beach near the Panthaniwas is now environment friendly, kept clean and has safety features for tourists who want to enjoy a day out beside the sea. It has restrooms, better toilet facilities and has decorated pathways for people to roam about. There’s also a children’s park, open-air gym and sea viewpoints where people can sit and enjoy the sea, the breeze and the beach.
