Rushikonda lies north of Vizag’s centre along the coastal road towards Bheemili, known for its golden beach, the IT hills where technology companies are based, and the growing number of seaside cafés and resorts. It has a more relaxed, open feel than the city centre, with hills on one side and the sea on the other. For Myra members, Rushikonda offers some of the most scenic first-date settings in the city, especially in daylight. Introductions here often include people from Madhurawada, Sagar Nagar, Yendada, the IT SEZ area and MVP Colony, depending on your distance limit. Many young professionals working in the IT hills live nearby, so after-work meetings are common, while weekends bring people from across the city to the beach. A coffee at a seaside café, followed by a short walk on the sand before sunset, is a lovely first date. The coastal road towards Bheemili is one of India’s most scenic drives, perfect for a later outing with someone you know well. Weekday afternoons are especially quiet, which suits a long, relaxed conversation by the sea. On weekends, the cafés fill up, so arrive early or book a table. Rushikonda’s beach received the international Blue Flag certification for cleanliness.
