About Puri Beach
Jagannath Temple anchors the town. The Bay of Bengal does the rest — wide grey sand, pilgrim crowds, and one of the four Char Dham sites all in one stretch.
Best Time to Visit
October to March
The Rath Yatra (June/July) is famous but very humid. Winter offers the best beach experience and temperate temple visits.
