Visakhapatnam Weather in December

December weather

December is one of the easiest months to explore Visakhapatnam. Days feel warm rather than punishing, and evenings by the Bay of Bengal are comfortable. Rain is limited, so you can enjoy a walk along RK Beach or take in the views from Kailasagiri without often having your plans washed out.

The sea may still feel humid, though, and December has less daylight than summer months. Save longer outdoor outings for daylight hours, and don't expect a cool winter escape.

What to do

With mostly dry days, December suits sightseeing around the Submarine Museum and a stroll along the beachfront. You can also ride the ropeway up Kailasagiri for views over the city and coastline. Keep beach time relaxed: a walk by the water is a safer bet than assuming conditions are right for swimming.

Christmas and New Year bring a holiday feel, especially around the beach areas. Navy Day falls on December 4, and Visakhapatnam has hosted naval displays around this date; events can vary from year to year.

Crowds and local tips

December is in Visakhapatnam's best travel season, so expect more visitors than in the wetter November. Christmas and New Year can make popular hotels and beachside spots busier, with prices often firmer than in quieter months.

If you hate crowds, visit RK Beach on a weekday rather than during the holiday stretch. Travelling with kids? The Submarine Museum gives you a shady, focused stop between outdoor outings. For dinner, try Andhra fish curry near the beach, but ask how spicy it is before ordering.
