Historical evidences of Buddhist Culture have been noticed at Bheemunipatnam dating back to 3rd century BCE on the hillock Pavurallakonda[4] (also known as Narsimhaswami Konda locally) in the town.

There is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha on the eastern side of Pavurallakonda facing the sea.

There are two more temples in the town of Bhimili, which date back to the times of Chola's as Bheemeswaralayam and Choleswaralayam.

There are remnants of the Dutch East India Company trading post when the town was a port.

[9] After Bheemunipatnam was plundered by Maratha troops in 1754, the local regent permitted the Dutch East India Company to construct a fort in the village, for which military engineer Coenraad Pieter Keller drew up plans.

The fort that was constructed subsequently collapsed twice, for which Keller had to defend himself in front of his superiors in Batavia.

The Bhimili port used to operate passenger vessels to Madras and Calcutta during the British Raj.

However, the lighthouse constructed by the British at Bheemunipatnam port stands as a witness to the European regime.
