Making progress in both educational and tourism domains, the city has its own hidden gems and attractions that tourists are unaware of. Whether you are a travel photographer, looking for your next destination to click stunning pictures or just a fan of beaches and sunsets, Visakhapatnam should be next on your list, if you haven’t been there already. In this article, we will share a list of the best places to visit in Visakhapatnam in 2023 with location, images, entry fee & timing
Trust me on this one because I have had school picnics at most of the places listed in the article. They are worth everyone’s time and attention. Moreover, all the beauty and tranquillity tourist places in Visakhapatnam are complemented by less touristy hassle and crowd, so that’s a win-win, right?
Ready to know about the best Vizag tourist places? Let’s begin!

Yarada Beach | #1 of 20 Best Places to visit in Visakhapatnam.
A coastal town without a beach is almost like breathing without air, it is impossible. Yarada Beach is one of the most scenic beaches in Visakhapatnam. Surrounded by hills on three sides, it is lined by the Bay of Bengal n the fourth, completing this picturesque scene you see here. Unlike other beaches of Vizag, this one is comparatively calmer and peaceful.
If you can visit the beach at the time of sunset and sunrise, you might be lucky to find it without people. Now that would give you the perfect frame, setting and view for those Instagram-worthy clicks, won’t it? You are sure to have a memorable time at this beach with its golden sands and crystal-clear water.
Photographer or not, you can always visit the beach with friends and family. We recommend you trek to the beach because that itself is another experience altogether.

Dolphin Hill or Nose | #2 of 20 Best Places to visit in Vizag.
Located just 4.5 km from Yarada Beach, Dolphin Hill deserves a special mention because of the viewpoints it has. With meandering roads leading to the top of the hill, you should walk to the various viewpoints and get some photos clicked. It will be worth all the exhaustion you may feel after the long walk up the steep roads.
However, the only catch to visit Dolphin Hill is it is inside the premises of Indian Navy and is heavily barricaded.

Rama Krishna Mission Beach | #4 of 20 Best Places to visit in Vizag.
Located just 4 km from Visakhapatnam Railway Station, Rama Krishna Mission beach or RK beach is renowned for being the longest in Visakhapatnam. This beach should be in the top 5 on your list of places to visit in Visakhapatnam.
While the beach is not optimum for swimming, you can always spend some leisure time sunbathing, playing volleyball with friends or water surfing.

All the places till now were either in Visakhapatnam or close to it. Now, we will be walking you through some tourist attractions that are a little further away from the main city yet totally worth it.
If you are looking for places to visit in Visakhapatnam in 2 days, then you should consider Simhachalam Temple, Borra Caves, Katiki Falls and Araku Valley as each of these demands couple of hours. And that won’t happen in one day. Also, one day of Vizag tour will definitely leave you yearning for more amazing locales and vistas, and these places are here to quench your wanderlust.
8. Simhachalam Temple
![Simhachalam Temple (#8 of 11 Best Vizag Tourist Places) Simhachalam Temple, Visakhapatnam](https://www.fabhotels.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1000x650-309.jpg)
Simhachalam Temple | #8 of 20 Best Places to visit in Vizag.
An 11 th -century Hindu temple, it is dedicated to the Varaha and Narasimha avatars of Lord Vishnu, and Goddess Lakshmi. The architecture of the temple is majorly Dravidian with several influences of the Kalinga style. From the carvings on the inner wall to the shrines of Lord Vishnu, everything at the shrine catches one’s fancy. As is the tradition in South India, you will find that the shrine is always covered in sandal paste. You must spend some time exploring the temple and try reading the inscriptions dating back to AD 1087 (if you can).
9. Borra Caves
![Borra Caves (#9 of 11 Best Vizag Tourist Places) Borra Caves, Visakhapatnam](https://www.fabhotels.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1000x650-310.jpg)
Borra Caves | #9 of 20 Best Places to visit in Visakhapatnam.
Just 90 km from the city, these natural caves are 705 metres above sea level. Once inside the caves, you can hear your voice echo. Moreover, right in the middle of the caves lie a small shivling. Climb on a steep stair and you will find the shrine in the centre. Many devotees come to Borra Caves just to get a glimpse of the shivling. Once you have paid your respects to Lord Shiva, come out of the caves and soak in the stunning rock formation and waterfalls here. Plus, there are lots of natural formations here that are a result of constant erosion and the rocks being carved and shaped by the river. The multi-coloured lights installed here recently make these even better and intriguing to look at.
10. Katiki Falls
![Katiki Falls (#10 of 11 Best Visakhapatnam Tourist Places) Katiki Falls, Visakhapatnam](https://www.fabhotels.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1000x650_-1.jpg)
Katiki Falls | #10 of 20 Best Places to visit in Vizag.
Katiki Waterfalls is another natural marvel near Visakhapatnam that deserves at least one visit. The main source of water to this fall is the Gosthani River. The sight of the water falling from an almost-vertical cliff surrounded by nothing but immense greenery and serenity is something you will never forget. Perched at an elevation of 50 feet, the cascading waters from the falls make for an excellent spot to click some amazing shots. If the lush greenery is not enough for you, trek to the falls to soak in the beauty of this place to the fullest.
11. Araku Valley
![visakhapatnam tourist place names Araku Valley, Visakhapatnam](https://www.fabhotels.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1000x650-311.jpg)
Araku Valley | #11 of 20 Best Places to visit in Vizag.
Its beauty is often compared to that of Ooty and the reasons are justified. Starting from the lush greenery that covers every inch of the valley to the coffee plantations, viewpoints and tribal culture, everything here will enchant you to the core. Believe us!
If all this stirs up the wanderlust in you, we suggest you spend at least a couple of days in the valley itself. Soak in the view of the green patches of grasslands, and you will know what we are talking about. You can stop at places that give you the best view because when it comes to exploring Araku Valley, the journey is more important than the destination.
Take everything at a slow pace and immerse yourself in the beauty of this place because the smell of freshly roasted coffee and the voice of the gurgling streams will linger long after you have left. Having been there myself, I still yearn to return to this magical hill station tucked away from mainstream tourists. Maybe that is where the beauty of Araku Valley lies…in it being hidden and untouched.
12. VUDA Park
![visakhapatnam tourist place names VUDA Park, Visakhapatnam](https://www.fabhotels.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/VUDA.jpg)
VUDA Park | #12 of 20 Best Places to visit in Visakhapatnam.
Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (VUDA) Park, also known as Taraka Rama Park, is one of the top places to visit in Vizag .

Visakhapatnam is such a beautiful city, with so much to offer. I’m dying to visit here after reading your blog. Thanks for sharing such a great collection of beautiful places to visit. I’m definitely saving it for later.
Such a great variety of things to do; from beaches to caves, taking in submarine museums and airplanes. The clean beach is a bonus too.
You make it sound so great! I would love to go to the waterfalls, the nature preserve and both museums. How convenient that the museums are right across the street from each other too!
I have been to a few submarine museums in the US, but they were all still in the water. This is the first time I see a submarine museum that is not submerged. Looks interesting and I wonder if it was painted silver in front originally?
Wow, it sounds like there’s so much to do in Visakhapatnam! I would definitely check out the museums (especially the submarine and coffee ones) and that waterfall is gorgeous!
Vizag looks like such a beautiful place. I especially love the wildlife sanctuary. Can’t wait to visit soon!
Oh wow..i would love to visit that sub..didn’t know such a thing existed!
Very well written blog, I never knew one can visit so many places in Vizag. I can see a kid will have loads of fun, visiting the submarine and aircraft museum. But the best part is Lambasingi, it looks too surreal and must-visit kinds. How much a 3 day trip will cost, with a decent staying option?
I have many friends in vizag but never got a chance to visit. Now you have given me a plenty of reasons to see the city. Museums look interesting especially the aircraft and coffee museum.
It has been decades I have visited Visakhapatnam, after reading your post I am sure what interests my family and choose accordingly.
Lol I have to admit, I was not expecting this to include a submarine! What a fun and unique museum!
I am so impressed with the variety of things to see in Visakhapatnam. The wildlife and nature is where I would want to spend most of my time, but those beaches and caves look fantastic too.
What an interesting place! I really like the submarine, and I think I would really enjoy visiting the Tribal Museum and learning about the cultures of the local tribes.
Went to Visakhapatnam from Hyderabad a couple of years back on my India visit. Loved Araku valley and the plantations. The submarine museum was unique. First time I ever entered into a submarine.
I love caves, waterfalls and wildlife, so would want to spend my time exploring that. My boys would love the aircraft and submarine museums. It sounds like we should visit the culture center if we come to the area as well to learn about the native people.
Your photo of Rushikonda Beach is amazing! I never thought of India as a beach destination, for me it’s more about the culture, the food and the temples… But to know that this is one of the cleanest beaches in India is very enticing!
Thanks for all your recommendations, this is a great resource!
Visakhapatnam certainly seems to have everything. I love beautiful beaches, but am more interested in the museums (especially the coffee museum!) and the caves. I would really like to visit this area. It looks beautiful but with so many interesting places to check out, it seems ideal for family visit.
We were sorry we did not get to visit the great beach areas in India when we visited. We certainly would head to Rushikonda Beach. As an ex-Navy guy, hubby would not miss the Naval Submarine or Aircraft Museums. I would bargain for a day trip to Katiki Falls or the Borra Caves in exchange for those museum days!
The Bora caves are SO BEAUTIFUL they remind me of Ruby Falls in Tennessee. Lambasing is quite eerie in a hauntingly beautiful way. This sounds like a great place to visit.
Beaches, wildlife and waterfalls, this place ticks plenty of must haves on my list. I can’t wait to visit.

At an altitude of 174 meters above sea level, you’ll be able to catch fascinating views of the bustling city at one end, and at the other you can watch the serene comings and goings of ships along the coast. A historic lighthouse sits atop the ‘nose’, which was once destroyed in 1876 due to a cyclone but has since been restored to full functionality, guiding ships at sea from distances as far as 65 kilometers. This is a beautiful place to visit in the evening to take in the sunset over the city, or to just sit and watch the ships pass by. Watch out for: The contrasting views of busy city and peaceful sea

For the sake of intrepid explorers and visitors, the interiors of these caves are lit with 63 lamps of mercury, sodium vapour and halogen, which illuminate and amplify the stalagmite and stalactite formations. Some of the most striking formations are said to resemble a dinosaur, a serpent, an elephant’s foot, a temple, and even human brains. See if you can spot them all.

"A gem of South India"
Visakhapatnam tourism.
Visakhapatnam, also commonly known as Vizag, is one of the oldest port cities in the country. Situated in the heart of Andhra Pradesh, Vizag was announced as the state capital of Andhra Pradesh on January 31, 2023. The city is known for its picturesque beaches and serene landscape, as well as a rich cultural past. The port of Visakhapatnam is renowned for being home to the oldest shipyard in all of India.
Located a short distance away from Visakhapatnam is Araku Valley, one of the prime attractions of Vizag. Situated at a lofty 910 metres above sea level, Araku Valley is a hill station replete with gushing waterfalls, crystal clear streams, lush green gardens and some challenging trekking trails. Vizag is dotted with many beaches along its coastline, with the most famous one being the Yarada Beach. One of the most stunning places to see in all of Visakhapatnam, Yarada beach is surrounded by majestic hills on three sides, and by the Bay of Bengal on the other side. One of the best things about Vizag’s beaches is that they are a lot cleaner and a lot less crowded than other famous beaches along the Indian coastline, and Yarada beach is no exception. It is the perfect place to sit back on the golden sands and witness a marvellous sunrise or sunset. If you’re a history lover, the Borra Caves are one of the best tourist attractions that Vizag has to offer for you. Nestled amidst the Ananthagiri Hills in Araku Valley, the Borra Caves are over thousands of years old and are the biggest among all the caves found in India. Made entirely of natural karstic limestone, the caves are kaleidoscopic in nature, and the light falling on the rocks coupled with the waterfalls creates an extremely colourful effect, lending an aura of magic and mysticism to the entire ambience. The Katiki Waterfalls, situated a short distance away from the Borra Caves, is a gushing waterfall that measures around 50 feet in height and is completely surrounded by the lush greenery of the valley. The crystal-clear water cascading down the rocks, bordered by the gleaming green foliage is a sight for sore eyes. Being a coastal area, the primary cuisine of Visakhapatnam includes seafood, as well as traditional Andhra South Indian cuisine. While Visakhapatnam is not exactly renowned for being a shopping destination, you will still find a lot of things that you can take back home. You can purchase a wide variety of stuff starting from handicrafts to Kalamkari paintings to wooden toys to even gorgeous Pochampalli and Ikat sarees.
