In Odisha's Balasore village is a small town of Chandipur. The beach here has to be one of the most unique beaches in the world, as when the water recedes during a low tide, one cannot make out it is a beach at all! The beach water goes in to as much as 5 kilometers per day! And during the high tide, it fills up again, looking like a beach again. So if you spend hours around the ebb of the beach, you can actually experience the hide and seek of the beach here.

The timings of the tides are based on the moon cycle so while visiting one should be really careful and aware about the high tide and low tide cycle of the day. Since the water fills up too fast during the high tide, not many tourists come around here as there is always the danger of waves washing off. So this unique property of the hide and seek beach Chandipur beach is still not known to many. It is quiet possible that if you pay a visit to the beach one day then on the next day at the different time, it may not be there at all!
