Baruva

Baruva is a village and a beach resort located near Sompeta in Srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is located at 18.53N 84.35E., at an average elevation of 10 m (33 ft). The Mahendratanaya River merges into the Bay of Bengal at this place. This village is situated at a distance of 109 km from Srikakulam town, the district headquarters.

Baruva was used as a seaport in the era of British colonial rule in India up to 1948. In July, 1917, a ship carrying goods sank in the sea. To commemorate this incident a pillar was constructed. The harbor is closed, but the old lighthouse stood until 2000.
