Surfing
Irrespective of your level of expertise, Konark has ample surfing opportunities for both beginners and experts. Surfing might not be what you would imagine to be on the list of water activities in Konark but head out to Ramchandi beach if you are a beginner. Brave the powerful waves at Chandrabhaga Beach if you are an expert. Be on the lookout for the surfing schools in the area to rent a surfboard and catch your next wave.
Jet Ski
Zoom across the serene water of the spacious Chandabhaga beach in Konark as you admire the glimpses of the Sun Temple. Hire a jet ski as Chandrabhaga Beach offers an array of water sports at Konark. Lather on your sunscreen, wear your life jacket and give in to this exhilarating experience.
Snorkelling and Scuba Diving
Snorkel your way through an array of fishes and vibrant coral reefs in crystal clear water. Since Konark is where history and water activities collide, you have the opportunity to scuba dive and explore shipwrecks such as the HMS Carron. Although exploration of these ship wrecks might be well-suited for experienced divers due to low visibility and challenging conditions, do not be disheartened. Witnessing the school of colourful fishes is a sight that should not be missed either. Ensure that you go with experienced operators in the area for your safety.
Traditional Boat Sailing
Set sail on a dhow, a traditional wooden vessel used for centuries by fishermen and traders. Book your ride in advance and sail past the Sun Temple, Chandrabhaga Beach and other landmarks and be transported into the past as the salt laden breeze runs through your hair. You may try your hand at steering the boat or raising the sail during your activity. Dhow sailing is a great way to connect to the culture of the locals, a memory that you will cherish forever.
