Chandipur (Odia: ), also known as Chandipur-on-sea (Odia: ଚାନ୍ଦିପୁର ବନ୍ଦର), is a small sea resort in Baleswar District, Odisha, India. The resort is on the Bay of Bengal and is approximately 16 kilometers from the Baleswar Railway Station. The beach is unique in that the water recedes up to 5 kilometers during the ebb tide. Due to its unique circumstances, the beach supports bio-diversity. Horseshoe crab is also found here on the beach towards Mirzapur, the nearby fishing market and community at the confluence of the Budhabalanga River(Balaramgadi). It is a suitable picnic spot. One of Odisha Tourism's Panthanivas (guest house) is situated here.
Chandipur is located at 21°28′N 87°01′E / 21.47°N 87.02°E. It has an average elevation of 3 m (9.8 ft). This town is 51.330 acres (0.20773 km2) in size.
In summer the temperature is 25-40 degrees Celsius, but in winter it's 17-26 degree Celsius. Nov-Mar is the suitable time for travelling here.
