'''Chandipur''', is a beach in [[Balasore District]], [[Odisha]], [[India]]. The beach is located on the shore of [[Bay of Bengal]] and is approximately 16 kilometers from the Balasore Railway Station. The beach is unique in a way that the water recedes up to 5 kilometers during the ebb tide. Due to its unique circumstances, the beach supports bio-diversity. [[Horseshoe crab]] is also found here on the beach towards Mirzapur, the nearby fishing market and community at the confluence of the [[Budhabalanga River]] (Balaramgadi). It is a suitable picnic spot. One of Odisha Tourism's Panthanivas (guest house) is situated here.
