The coastal stretch between Gopalpur and Udaypur is slowly emerging as one of the key objectives of Odisha, particularly in terms of tourism and port development. There are nearly 480 to 500 kilometers of coastline along the Bay of Bengal between Gopalpur and Udaypur. India has attractive coastlines, easy availability of tasty fish, pleasant weather and rich social heritage which attract travelers from all parts of India.
Some of the most popular locations are Gopalpur Shoreline and Udaypur Shoreline which are popular destinations for families and weekend tourists. Moreover, the ports of Gopalpur Harbour and Paradeep Harbour have played an important role in the development of Odisha in terms of trade and commerce. These ports carry minerals, cargoes and marine goods generating employment and boosting the local economy.
