A coastal district on  the  north-eastern sea  board, Balasore has   the distinction of having been called the "Granary of Orissa"  with   stretches  of  green  paddy  fields, a  network of   rivers, blue hills,  extensive meadows and an extraordinary beach.

 The religious centers at  Remuna, Chandaneswar and Panchalingeswar popular among the devotees are some of the major attractions for the tourists.

 A popular health resort  Chandipur-on the billowing  bay display a unique aspect-the sea water receds miles  away just to stage a come  back after an interval. The beach with its inviting smiles-tall whispering casuarina  and   glittering  sea  shells-affords  indeed  an  engaging   experience  for  the children and the elders alike.
