Museums
| SUBMARINE MUSUEM
An Interesting spot on the RK Beach, Vizag’s Submarine Museum is quite an innovative creation. Housed in a real submarine, INS Kurusura, this Soviet built sub was decommissioned in 2001 after serving our nation for over two glorious decades. The submarine contained all its weaponry and fittings when it was hauled over to the beach and permanently stationed on a solid concrete foundation on the beach road and is a big attraction to public.
