Coastal drives you need to experience in India

Marine Drive, Odisha
With sea on one side, and forest on another, the Marine Drive in Odisha is an incredible achievement. Driving on this road will allow you to experience the beauty of Odisha, which is a spectacularly beautiful state. Known as the Puri Konark Marine Drive, as it connects these two cities, the road is an essential experience of the state. So if you are in Puri, go on a day trip to Konark to see the Sun Temple, and you will find yourself on this beautiful road.
Beach Road, Pondicherry
As if being a French influenced breezy city was not enough, Pondicherry also has the sea with a beach road running alongside. The city is known for its myriad charms, and the sea plays an important role in it. The Beach Road presents a wonderful opportunity for travellers to experience a lovely drive by the sea. It is an experience to remember.
East Coast Road, Chennai
The massive road is 777 km long, running alongside the Bay of Bengal. It runs from Chennai to Kanyakumari in the state of Tamil Nadu. Initially, it used to be as far as Pondicherry from Chennai, but the road got extended over the years. The best part about this coastal drive here is that you have numerous attractions here. Needless to say, it is extremely scenic, and you would find yourself lost in the views.
Beach Road, Vishakhapatnam
The city of Vishakhapatnam is a gorgeous one with clean air, beautiful roads, and sea breeze. A great way to explore it all is the Beach Road. The highway is 40 km long, and a wonderful opportunity to experience the Bay of Bengal. The Beach Road is also a gateway to beaches, and other tourist attractions. When in Vizag, you could rent a car and go on a beautiful drive on Beach Road.
