Chilika Lake
Chilika Lake is a brackish water lagoon, spread over the Puri, Khurda and Ganjam districts of Odisha state on the east coast of India, at the mouth of the Daya River, flowing into the Bay of Bengal, covering an area of over 1,100 km. It is the biggest lake of India after Vembanad Lake. It has been listed as a tentative UNESCO World Heritage site.[8]It is the largest salt water lake in India.
Red Crabs
The appearance of lakhs of Red crabs, which are generally found at the Talsari beach in Baleswar district, along the coastline in Puri district and Chilika in Ganjam district has generated curiosity among the environmentalists as well as tourists in Odisha. Most of the year, these crabs are solitary dwellers of the burrows they dig throughout the forest. During the dry season, they retreat into these shelters to retain body humidity and essentially remain there for two to three months.
Shrimad Island
Odisha is noted for being home to around 100-odd endangered Irrawaddy dolphins. You can visit these dolphins at Satpada village near the Chilika Lake. Satpada (meaning a group of seven settlements in Odia language), is located around 50 km from Puri. At the Satpada Jetty, hire a boat that will take you to the blue expanse of the Chilika Lake, which houses the Sea Mouth Island on the point of its convergence with the Bay of Bengal.
