Golden Blue Beach, Puri
Golden Beach in Puri is one of the best beaches in the country
The Golden beach in Puri is one of the twelve Blue Flag beaches
in India and this trip was long due, to stay there over night and enjoy the beach time to the fullest. The Blue Flag certification is given by the Copenhagen-based FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) based on thirty-three stringent guidelines on world-class Eco-friendly environment, cleanliness and tourist-friendly amenities and our government has spent quite a good amount to meet those criteria and also maintaining it nicely.
The Jagannath Temple at Puri is always crowded, as its one of the Char Dham (four holiest pilgrimage sites), but whenever we go there, visiting the temple is the first priority and then eating the Mahaprasad at Ananda Bazaar, the biggest open-air hotel in the world where every day at least 100-200 thousands of devotees eat. It took almost three hours to get inside the temple, have a glance of the Lord and by the time we came out, there was barely any place left to sit and eat, so we carried the Mahaprasad to the hotel.
If you ever visit Puri, don't miss the Mahaprasad, you won't find that authentic taste anywhere else.
The Golden Palace hotel is located right at the Golden Blue Beach, where we had booked our stay for one day.
This is the first time we stayed at Puri, because its not too far (only 60 km) from my home, and it takes only a hour and half to get there. But then kids wanted to enjoy the beach at the evening as well as early morning. And every time we visited the beach earlier, they would see this hotel and always tell, we will stay here once.
And finally we were there, a long time wish granted. After taking a little rest, we headed to the beach.
The hotel is right behind him, so you can feel how close it is.
A panoramic view of the beach - pretty clean and beautiful.
These chairs are chargeable, on an hourly basis, but the ones at the back are free. The life saving guards are available till 7 pm in the evening and keep an watch on the crowd, warning people whenever they try to go deeper. You can stay longer, and be on your own after 7.
Water, sand and the ambience, what else you need ! Kids enjoyed for more than a hour, before feeling hungry.
There is a women empowered cafe just at the entrance to the golden beach and they were selling various types of hot snacks. It was very tasty as well as affordable - fulfilled the evening snacks and tea.
We went back to the beach and sat for some more time, before heading for dinner outside at Biryani Cafe. The morning at the sea beach is pretty blissful, so we got up early and headed straight to the beach.
It was not entirely free - the morning walkers were already there. They have some monthly pricing for these regular walkers.
She planned to do a reel, so we went to one end to get some free space.
A family photo was a must, so asked someone to help capture the moment. The next hour was super fun for the kids - they never had this experience earlier.
Guess who is holding whom ? Since I was the photographer, I could not go inside, so I had to repeatedly warn them not to go deeper. They were in no mood to go back.
Every time I would call them the answer was 10 minutes please....But then I had to force them to come back as we had early check out from the hotel.
The Golden Beach has all the tourist-friendly amenities, and one can easily enjoy the place without staying here. They charge a little to maintain this place, but then there are other stretches which are free. We just wanted to experience the early morning at the Golden beach.
A small video of all the excitements :
Hope this post tempts you to visit Puri and experience it yourself. This is the perfect time as we have Winters starting now, that will continue till late February.

Golden beach must definetely be an awesome beach to pretty try out during a holiday vacation
This memory will stay with the family forever. It is always good to spend some time with our family to create bonds and everlasting memories.
100% true, and kids remember this and these memories remind them when they become older.
I always find it nice if Ita relaxes on the beach, as seen in some photos you take with your beloved family, as your children really enjoy this trip, surely they have fun there.

Photographs of the beaches are great and even more so when we spend it as a family with our loved ones.
For a long time I wish to go there...maybe soon I'll be there... nice photographs. Looks like you enjoyed fully with your family 😊
Yes, we did enjoy to the fullest, and now they want to go again :)
Hahaha...it happened :-)
Awesome place and you seem to have a great family time together.. enjoy.
Thank you.
Awesome photo, I really like your post, awesome
The beach looks like such a great place where to be, no matter whether is night or day outside! I'm happy to see that you had a great time :)
Always a good memory to spend time with families especially when visiting places.
This type of trip is very essential for mental health and peace. We should spend time with family. In order to fullfil our desires and needs we make ourselves busy too much and don't get any spare time to spend with family. Family is important as compared to anything else. All these clicks shows a strong bonding between you and Your family members.
a little natural detox from stress.
Beach is my favourite.It is especially nice to sit on the beach and listen to the roar of the sea. Anyway you had a lot of nice moments. to remember
Ya, the ambience is soothing..
Hello dear friend @sanjeevm good morning
It's good that you have finally visited this place in the company of your family, the photographs show that the whole family is very happy.
Beautiful beach, very beautiful photographs, I appreciate that you share this whole experience
Have a great day
Wonderful pictures!
The family looks very happy. Without a doubt, these moments are for a lifetime. I hope you continue to create many more bonds
!LUV
A wonderful family get to gether on the beach, everyone looks happy :) Always be happy freind.
This is a good one and will always make history continue to hold. I can see your son is fast growing and coming up with your image. It was a nice time out with family, hope you enjoyed yourself with the family?
Yes, Yes, very much.
That's a nice one, I look forward too seeing more from you and your family
Wow this place looks beautiful! I hope you enjoyed your time there!
Fully relaxed.
Nothing better than family, a place close to sea and positive vibe! You have them all sir and you really make us a little jealous 😉! Enjoy yourselves, you really deserve it!
It looks like that your trip to Golden Beach sounds both spiritual and fun-filled! It's fascinating to learn about the Blue Flag certification and its significance.
Blue Flag certification does matter a lot, the govt spent almost more than 10 crores to beautify only a small stretch of 900 meters and making sure all the facilities are available.

😊👍 u and son are looking good in stripes!
it's so nice to see the sibling getting along like that.
were they wrestling in the first pic? 🤼♀️
Guess who is protecting whom ? One is running away and one is holding tight.
😁😜
I love your bright shirts!
Seems you all had a fantastic time :)
Well, I did not write it on the post but this shirt was purchased long back, and kept to be used while visiting the Jagannath Temple. But then it never happened , and finally the call came from the divine. It's strongly believed that unless the Lord wants to meet you, you cannot go there, whatever planning you do. We planned twice, but it did not work out.
Ah hence the saying, if it is meant to be, it is meant to be!
It's always fun to spend time with family in the beach. Nice that you enjoyed it.
Looks like a nice beach. The sand is yellowish/white like what we have in some beaches in our province.
Yes, its much better than Goa even, except that its a religious place.
Such a beutiful and memorable vacation you have had with loving family. Our life's priority is family. So why you spent interesting time in beach and the hotel. Recently I have got like these experience. Unfortunately due to heavy waves we couldn't enjoy with beach sands.
Was it because of fool moon day ? That is one another thing to keep in mind while planning for a trip to beach.
No. Moon day will upcoming next 28th Saturday. These time period heavily raining whole isaland in Sri Lanka. So we couldn't enjoyed lot.
Ya, beach is definitely not nice in heavy rains. For us Winter has just started, so pretty enjoyable.
enjoy your trip. this is a beautiful beach @sanjeevm
this place looks so beautiful and peaceful. Every time I see your family it puts a smile on my face. Everyone seems to be so happy and watching your children playing together and really enjoying each other's company is a testament to how they are being brought up
One of the best moment one can ever have is spending time with family which you just had one on the blue beach. I love how every body looks happy
A pleasant holiday with your family is the best moments in life. You have a very beautiful wife, like an actress from Soviet films.
Awesome shots! Looks like the family had amazing fun! Night beaching is always a favourite thing of mines to do!
Going to such a place, when we see the beautiful natural scenery, the water and the water itself can be seen far away, it feels very good. When a person goes there with his family, he enjoys eating and drinking there. We can also see in the pictures that you have also spent this time very well.
Hermosa playa , está muy linda ..
I am so happy to read about your trip to Puri! It sounds like you had a wonderful time. I especially enjoyed the photos of the beach and the video of your kids having fun.
Family always comes first friend, it's great that you have the time to have fun with them and have incredible moments.
Love the video. Your kids had so much fun in the waves :) I actually love this activity too. When we lived on the Tenerife Island (Spain), going for some fun in the waves was usually the first thing I did in the morning :) Yep that´s me in the picture below... Sweet memories :)
That's a very nice capture.
