Overview

Krishna River Sagara Sangamam at Hamsaladeevi Beach marks the geographic point where the Krishna River merges with the Bay of Bengal. This site is the easternmost point of the Krishna delta and functions as both a religious pilgrimage site and a coastal nature destination. The terrain consists of wide stretches of sand dunes and mangrove vegetation along the riverbank. The confluence is considered sacred by local devotees who perform ritual baths during significant lunar events. It remains one of the few undeveloped coastal areas in Andhra Pradesh, offering a raw view of the river meeting the sea. The beach area is characterized by relatively shallow waters and strong tidal currents near the river mouth.

Insider tips

Carry adequate drinking water and snacks as there are minimal facilities near the shoreline.

Visit during low tide to safely walk closer to the exact point where the river water meets the ocean.

Be aware that the current at the mouth of the river is extremely strong and swimming is dangerous.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim in the river mouth area due to unpredictable rip currents and deep, soft mud banks.
