Must stay:
Bay Leaf Spa (Plot No. A, #3-2, Ocean Drive, Sagar Nagar, Vizag – 5300045, Ph : ( +91-891) 6454545, Website: http://www.bayleafspa.com/) is considered to be Vizag’s first Wellness Spa situated on RK Beach. This Ayurvedic Spa and Resort has 10 luxury cottages and offers wellness and beauty treatments, hair therapies and massages.
Must try:
You must visit the Tulips restaurant at the Green Park Hotel (Waltair Main Road, Visakhapatnam – 53002, Phone: 0891 – 6615151, Fax: 0891 – 2563736, Website: http://www.hotelgreenpark.com/), for their special Midnight Biryani that starts from 11:00 pm onwards on weekdays. The Midnight Biryani buffet consists of mutton/ chicken briyani, haleem, kheema masala, egg masala, vegetarian biryani, paneer and ending it with moong halwa or gajar ka halwa and vanilla ice-cream.
Must see:
The drive up to Rishikonda Beach is absolutely worth it. Just 8kms from Vizag city, RK Beach is a favourite weekend hangout for the locals. After an early lunch or dinner, a drive to Rishikonda Beach is amazing. From the top you can see the entire shore and certain inaccessible areas of the beach that are absolutely clean.
Must buy:
Bombay Gas Light Stores (10-1-27a, A Metta Junction, Uplands Road
Visakhapatnam-530003, Phone: 0891-2502413) is a one stop shop for all requirements. From small and big barbeque sets, steel ware/utensils, cutlery, all kinds of kitchen and home items, this place is a must visit. If you’re visiting Vizag, do drop by at Bombay Gas Light stores to pick up some knick-knacks like small copper plates with embossed designs for gifting purposes.
Match watch:
There are frequent sailing competitions held at RK Beach, which is a highlight of this beach. The drive to Rishikonda Beach has something more to offer. You can take the ropeway or drive up the hill to Kailasagiri, a popular tourist spot situated on a hilltop. You can stand at the tip of the hilltop to get the full view of the seafront.
