Gopalpur got its name from an 18th century temple dedicated to Krishna (Gopala), the beloved blue-God. The best thing about Gopalpur, besides the golden beach, is the seafood. This is a seafood lover’s paradise.
Gopalpur-On-Sea 14 km from Berhampur, the club of Southern Odisha, is the small town of Gopalpur on the Bay of Bengal. Enjoying the reputation of being a popular Beach Resort of Odisha, the deep and clear blue waters instantly provoke those who are good swimmers.
