Perupalem Beach is situated 20 kilometers from
Narasapur town, located in the West Godavari area of the Andhra Pradesh state.
The shore is extremely popular for its delightful picturesque and the coastline
that offers a pleasing view to the people visiting it. Narasapur is popular for
its old edifices belonging to the British time. These structures still stand
tall here. Narasapur is one of three revenue divisions of West Godavari district.
It's popular with the tourists for the many holiday attractions such as the
temple of Lakshmi Narayana at Antarvadi located 16 km from the town. Narasapur
is known as a specialist town for lace weaving. It’s a large industry for the
town and a primary source of earning for many people here. The lace weaving
artisans here also service international clients.
However, Narasapur town is primarily known for
the Perupalem Beach with its characteristic marshland. This sunny shore has
safe and shallow waters and it’s easily approachable from Narasapur. It’s a 20
km ride from the town to the Beach as we cross paddy fields lined with coconut
trees on either sides of the road. The Baptist Church close to the vacation
spot is also a popular tourist spot.
Perupalem Beach
is a newly developed beach in West Godavari District. The people here are
engaged in agriculture, coconut growing and fishing. There is a old
Venkateswara Temple on the sea front that has been renovated recently. Local
authorities and tourism development authorities are making efforts to develop
infrastructure around the beach. The mouth of the beach opens itself out to the
Bay of Bengal.
How do we reach Perupalem Beach?
To reach Perupalem beach, one has to get down
on train or bus at Narasapuram. Narasapuram has regular train services from
Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Shirdi. There are numerous bus services to

engage a private taxi to reach Perupalem. Tourists from far off places should
find accommodation in Narasapuram or Palakol. There are no boarding or lodging
facilities at Perupalem beach.
The drive to Perupalem beach is an
exhilarating experience. The road passes through rich green paddy fields,
dotted by swinging coconut trees. Subsidiary canals flow along the road, as if
to keep company to the visitors. The journey takes us through Mogaltur, an
erstwhile kingdom of Mogaltur Raja. It is also the birth place of the famous
cine stars Chiranjeevi, Krishnam Raju, and Prabhas.
