The name Talasari is derived from the two Odia words Tala (ତାଳ) (meaning Palm) and Sari/Sarani (ସାରି/ସାରଣୀ) (meaning row). The palm trees surrounding the place give such a name to it.[1] The word Tala also means rhythm, which is reflected in the sea waves lapping against the shore.[citation needed]
The Subarnarekha river adds to the visual appeal of the Talasari beach. Other attractions include the sand dunes and red crabs on the beach and the fishing hamlets and the mangrove trees of Bichitrapur nearby.
Overview
The place has vast stretches of green paddy fields, numerous rivers, blue hills and extensive beaches. The beach has tall coconut trees, palm trees and casuarina. Udaipur beach is the last beach on this stretch.
When the stream is brimming, one can only reach the main beach with the help of a boat. But at other times, one can walk across the dry riverbed. The place is fairly windy.
Talasari is one of the less exploited Odisha beaches. The Talsari beach is not as frequently visited by the people as the other beaches of Odisha. The waters of the sea at Talsari beach are not turbulent but calm and peaceful.
It is the last beach in the Odisha to the north.
