Buddha Statue at Bheemunipatnam(Bheemili)beach Road






Bheemili lies at the mouth of River Gosthani joining the Bay of Bengal and forms an alluring recess to the town. The confluence point of River Gosthani into the Bay of Bengal is a scenic view from the hilltop temple. Vizag-Bhimili beach road is most developing into tourism hub by state government. Hollanders Green as the name indicates started as a resting place for the dead Dutchmen but one can see many English graves. Hollanders Green certainly makes the oldest Christian grave in Andhra Pradesh and the graves of the early Dutchmen. Erra Matti Dibbalu, literally meaning Red Earth Hillocks just looks like a mini Chambal valley. There is an old Church dated back to 1850s called 'The Red Church'. Another church, 'The Andhra Baptist' has a rich history of more than 130 years. The lighthouse dated to 1868 acts as a citadel on the shores of Bheemili beach. There is a temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha on a hillock. Sri Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swami has set up the Vedic Adhyayana Research Institute Jeeyar Ashram (VARIJA) on the pristine beach of Visakhapatnam-Bheemunipatnam Road.
