Nestled between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal, Visakhapatnam—commonly called Vizag—is a coastal paradise and the largest city in Andhra Pradesh. Known for its scenic beaches, vibrant culture, and emerging economy, Vizag is fast becoming one of India’s most sought-after cities to live in and explore.

The city boasts a unique geographical setting, with hills on one side and the sea on the other. Tourist hotspots like RK Beach, Yarada Beach, and Rushikonda Beach attract visitors year-round. The panoramic views from Kailasagiri Hill, the peaceful Simhachalam Temple, and the heritage-rich INS Kurusura Submarine Museum offer a wide variety of experiences for every kind of traveler.

But Vizag is not just about beauty—it's an economic powerhouse too. Home to a major seaport, shipbuilding yards, steel plants, and emerging IT parks, the city balances industrial might with natural charm. The Eastern Naval Command of the Indian Navy is headquartered here, reinforcing Vizag’s strategic and national importance.

As part of India’s Smart City Mission, Vizag is undergoing rapid infrastructure development. Improved public transport, green city initiatives, and a push for digital services make it a model for future-ready urban planning. With a rich blend of tradition, technology, and tourism, Vizag truly stands as the Jewel of the East Coast.
