Some of these include a geo-environment park in around 200-300 acres land along the coast, which will feature the rocks, sand dunes, hills, minerals and so on. Vizag and surroundings have the oldest Pre-Cambrian era rocks, dating back to around 2,500 million years ago. There are also some natural cave-like structures on the sand dunes and the geo-heritage site of Red Sand Hills or the Erra Matti Dibbalu, formed around 12,000 years ago in the late Quaternary Period near Bheemili. The most common rocks found here are khondalites, charnockites, leptynites and quartzites.. Besides, a sub-marine glass house can be built under water.
