Mangamaripeta is a village with a watersport beach in Visakhapatnam, India. It is believed that the region was under the kingdom of Kalingas and later the beach was used to serve as the promotional centre of Buddhism. The beach is popular for Thotlakonda, a hill embracing a Buddhist complex, located at an elevation of 128 m.[1]
Mangamaripeta is a part of GVMC ward number 4, Bheemunipatnam. One of its prominent landmarks is a natural stone arch.[2]
Mangamaripeta is accessible via 900k or 900T from the Dwaraka bus station via Siripuram, Appugarh, Gitam.[citation needed]
