The two-day Perupalem Beach Festival saw thousands of tourists, fishermen and villagers living along the Mogaltur coast and adjoining mandals in attendance. All roads leading to the Perupalem beach were illuminated, and organisers arranged a dais on the beach. The Ministers said that the Perupalem beach should be developed on par with Rushikonda, Kakinada and other beaches in the State. Viswanadham, who flagged off the 5K Run on the beach on Sunday, said the unique feature of Perupalem beach is that both sunrise and sunset can be viewed from here. Prizes were given away to winners of cultural shows, food festival and 5K Run during the closing function of the beach festival.
