1. Chandipur Beach, Odisha
Ever heard of a beach that vanishes? Chandipur Beach in Odisha stretches for 5 KM during low tide leaving shells, crabs, starfish and more behind. Due to its habit of this, it is also known as ‘Vanishing Beach’. The local fishman also takes advantage of this by picking up the unfortunate fish left behind by the sea.
2. Bangaram Beach, Lakshadweep
Did you know about the glowing sea? If not, then I suggest you visit Bangaram Beach in Lakshadweep which lights up in luminescent blue. These glowing dots are phytoplankton and algae which are blessed by nature to glow in the dark. These beaches will give you the most magical background to click your best pictures ever.
Side Note:
You can also visit Juhu Beach in Maharashtra to enjoy the same nature’s phenomenon.
3. Navapur Beach, Maharashtra
Surrounded by hills from either side of the beach, Navapur Beach is technically located in Maharashtra but a part of it also lies in Gujarat. However, these are not the reasons we put this beach in this list, but its jet black sand that gives it a magical appearance. Although this beach is away from heavy commercialisation, you can still enjoy a plate of poha and a cup of chai on this beach.

5. OM Beach, Gokarna
Tucked in the beauty of Gokarna, OM Beach is a magical creation of nature as it is shaped like OM in Devanagari Script.

In addition to this picturesque scene, you will also find water sports near the beach to complete your experience.
6. Arambol Beach, Goa
Beaches are salty, right? Not when you are reading an article about unique beaches. Arambol Beach is situated in the state of Goa and its uniqueness is the taste of its water.

The reason behind this impossible phenomenon is the presence of a freshwater lake near the sea.

Also, the best thing is that it has secured 7th position in the list of the top beaches in the world.
8. Nagoa Beach
Nagoa Beach is situated in Diu and though it seems like a regular beach, it stands out of the crowd due to the trees surrounding it.
