Wake early and head up to Kailasagiri to catch sunrise over the Bay of Bengal; ride the ropeway for sweeping hilltop views, pose by the colossal Shiva-Parvati statue, and stroll the landscaped gardens while the city below wakes.

Make your way to the iconic Yarada Beach and Dolphin's Nose viewpoint—take the short hike to Dolphin’s Nose Lighthouse for dramatic cliffs, sea-spray vistas and excellent photo opportunities, then descend to Yarada for a peaceful beach walk and a fresh seafood lunch at a cliffside restaurant serving grilled pomfret or prawn curry. If time allows, visit the Submarine Museum (INS Kurusura) or the Tuppota Buddha Park for a quick cultural detour before returning toward the city.
