Places to visit near Lawson’s Bay Beach
A land of sprawling beaches, ancient temples, hills, beautiful caves and savoring valleys; Vizag has so many things to offer and endure. You can visit quite a few places while you are at Lawson's Bay Beach:
1. INS Kursura Submarine Museum: The most unique museum in South Asia; INS Kursura is a war veteran. INS Kurusura Submarine is a Soviet built-I-641 class Submarine and was inducted into the Indian Navy on 18, December 1969. It was decommissioned on 28, February 2001 after 31 years of glorious service to the nation. The museum was opened for public on the 14th August, 2002. The museum gives you the experience of a real life submarine.
2. Kailasagiri Park: Situated 360 feet above sea level, this park presents you a view of the sea, forests and the city of Visakhapatnam. The man who sells lemonade outside the main gate has been there for over 3 decades and shares a slice of his experiences with a glass of lemonade. You can also go paragliding at Kailasagiri Park. There’s a ropeway for tourists which provides you with a bird’s eye view of the whole city. To add to your amusement, a toy train for children has been installed which adds up to the fun.
3. Ross Hill Church: One of the prettiest churches in the country, Ross Hill is situated atop the highest hill around. Tourist and religious followers come here for the serenity and peace that it provides. It is a hot spot for photographers and couples alike. To just sit there and observe the pretty sunsets and sunrises is a joy to cherish. Over the years, Ross Hill has had to go through many rounds of renovations and it still stands beautiful.
4. TU 142 Aircraft Museum: Right opposite to the INS Kursura Submarine Museum lies the aircraft museum that has become one of the most loved tourists’ sites in just two years of installation. The TU 142 aircraft of the Indian Navy after 30 years of loyal service was decommissioned and converted into a museum. Right before you enter the aircraft, you have an exhibition hall that takes you through the various parts of the aircraft. There is a small gift and souvenir shop right outside the museum which makes limited edition bookmarks and pens.
5. Dolphin’s Nose: This 174m high rocky headland which looks similar to a Dolphin’s nose is situated in the south of Vizag. The nose seems to be poking the Bay of Bengal making it a worthwhile sight. A lighthouse is placed 64km out at sea which has been used by sailors to find port for years now. You want a spooky lighthouse adventure, your search is over.
6. Gluttons Garage: Situated at a walkable distance from Lawson's Bay Beach, Gluttons attracts both tourists and locals alike. Their food and ambience is amazing. If you have time to kill before the museums open or you just want to relax and hog on food after a long day of sightseeing, you know where to go.
7. Victory at Sea Memorial: We are all aware of the Indo-Pak war that was fought back in 1971. This is when INS Vikrant with other submarines and aircrafts won against the Pakistani attacks. This memorial truly sends a chill down your spine but also keeps the memory of victory alive. Some memoirs are painfully beautiful.
