Santhabommali is a coastal mandal in Srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh, that is closely linked to the sea. Most households depend on agriculture, fishing, salt-related work and small trades, giving the mandal a mix of farm and coastal livelihoods. Inside the mandal, villages like Naupada are traditionally known for their salt fields, where salt production has been an important occupation for many families.
Santhabommali includes and surrounds several quiet beaches such as Bhavanapadu, Patha Meghavaram, Karipeta and Mula Peta, which are known for their calm shores, soft sands and relatively low crowds compared to big tourist beaches. With its combination of sea, salt pans, fields and simple coastal villages, Santhabommali offers a typical North-Andhra shoreline experience.
Santabommali is easily accessible by all three major modes of transport—roadways, railways, and airways—which is a relief for many travel enthusiasts planning to visit the town.

The Trinadha Swami Temple in Santhabommali is unique in the entire Srikakulam district, as it is the only temple where Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheswara are worshipped together as Trinadha Swamy. The temple becomes especially vibrant during Sivaratri, when many devotees from Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, and South Odisha visit to seek the blessings of the Lord.
The Eswara Temple in Santhabommali is another notable shrine located in the heart of the town. With its small gopuram and peaceful surroundings, the temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, revered here as Vishwanatha or Visweswara, similar to the deity worshipped in Varanasi (Kasi). Devotees offer prayers to Lord Shiva here and believe that he blesses them with strength, peace, and well-being.
