'''Palmyras Point''' or '''Point Palmyras''' is a low headland in the [[Bay of Bengal]]. <br />
It is located at the eastern end of the [[Brahmani River]] delta in the state of [[Odisha, India]], close to the [[Bhitarkanika]] wildlife sanctuary, an area of [[mangroves]].<ref>[http://www.satelliteviews.net/cgi-bin/w.cgi?c=in&UF=-2106912&UN=-2924940&DG=PT Palmyras Point, India]</ref> <br />
<br />
[[False Point]], located further south, derives its name from the circumstance that vessels proceeding up the Bay of Bengal frequently mistook it for Point Palmyras.<ref>[[Hugh Murray (geographer)|Hugh Murray]] et al., ''Historical and descriptive account of British India'' (1843)</ref><br />
