The beaches in India are almost too numerous to list, but they’re well worth exploring. Here are some of the most popular beaches in India, broken down by region.

Andhra Pradesh BeachesTwenty three individual districts make up the area known as Andhra Pradesh, but only eight of them give visitors access to the sea. Andhra’s coast has remained remarkably unspoiled by tourism and features clean beaches where tourists can sunbathe or swim at their leisure.
