Beaches [ edit ]

• 21.62275 87.52562 6 Old Digha Beach . One of the most popular beaches in West Bengal and it gets overcrowded, especially during the cooler winter break. Activities in the beach include horse riding, sunbathing, swimming volleyball, cricket, football etc. However, Old Digha is not safe and conducive for bathing. It is not as wide as it used to be due to heavy soil erosion. Big stones and concrete steps are used to hold together the beach. ( updated Mar 2023 )
• 21.61882 87.50645 7 New Digha Beach ( 2 km (1.2 mi) from Old Digha ). The best place for a dip safely. The beach here is flat. Beer is generally served at the beach by the enterprising locals who would accept payment later by coming with you to your hotel. Beware, they may ask a high price for beer. Other activities in the beach include horse riding, sunbathing, volleyball, cricket, football etc. ( updated Mar 2023 )

Buy [ edit ]

• Cashew nuts : There is a cashew nut farm in Digha so varieties of cashew nuts are available.
• Digha Mohana Fish Market : Buy fresh fish here
• Hand woven mats made of hemp. These mats are called Madur in Bengali and the colourful Madurs of Midnapur District are famous.
• Jewellery made with Hyderabadi Pearls .
• Ornaments and Curios made of sea shells.

Eat [ edit ]

The famous 'Hinger Kochuri' is a famous breakfast of Digha. There are many stalls and sweet shops all over Digha which offers this delicious breakfast.

There are many cheap "rice hotels" all over Digha, serving cheap, but good quality Bengali dishes. There are some more expensive restaurants where continental food is available. In an average restaurant, a vegetarian meal is available for ₹35-45, Bengali fish curry-rice is available for ₹25-35. A meal with egg curry-rice is available around ₹45.

Another great idea would be to just buy the staple vegetarian fare at the hotel you are staying and have it delivered to your room. You can buy fresh fishes like ilish, pomfret, parshe and prawns from Mohona, Digha fish market in the morning and have it cooked at the numerous "Dada-Boudi'r" joints around Sea Hawk. Have this fish with your standard vegetarian lunch or dinner.

In the evening look for fried fish, crabs and prawns on the sea front in Digha.

Those who are fussy about the quality of cooking, have transport at their command and are looking for tasty fish preparations should go and have lunch at Shankarpur, they prepare the fish much better than at the rest of Digha. The quality at Shankarpur is comparable to the splurge dining in Kolkata but is comparatively cheaper and the fish as fresh as you can demand. The trouble of travelling would be well compensated.

• Pabitra Hotel , New Digha ( 5 min walk from bus stand along main road ), ☏ +91 96 471 66166 , [email protected] .  
• Hotel Sandy Bay serves good Bengali cuisine. Try their sea food - prawns, pomfret, bhetki, parse (a small sweet water fish - cooked whole with the bones - so you must use your hands to eat), rohu (a form of carp). Vegetarian food such as mochar ghonto (spicy young green bananas), aloo posto, aloor dum (Bengali style), Kashmiri aloo dum and cholar daal is also available.

Drink [ edit ]

• Alcohol — There are many bars and wine shops in Digha serving all sorts of hard drinks, but the liquor shops close around 7pm. If you want to buy a drink after the shops are closed, some guys in front of the shops will provide alcohol at higher prices (potentially black bargaining). The bar at Hotel Nest is good. But from Sandy Bay you can face the sea directly. A liquor shop has opened just 50 m outside the gates of the Fisheries premises on the right fork from Hotel Nest. A variety of medium grade whiskies, rum and other spirits are available.
• Green Coconut water , (commonly known as 'Daab') is very cheap here. A single green coconut costs around ₹10-20 and the water is sweet and refreshing. The green coconut vendors move with their cycles all along the Sea Beach. There are also green coconut vendors which provide seating facilities near the beach.

Sleep [ edit ]

Always avoid the hotel-agents at the Digha station as their hotels are situated very far from the beach. It is better to consult the cycle-rickshawallahs for better lodging facilities (they take commissions from the hotel guys)

Stay safe [ edit ]

• Electric torches or emergency lamps can help in case of temporary power outages, which are frequent during the summer. However, most of the hotels in Digha have their own backup generators, so if you don't bring a torch, you'll probably be fine.
• Mosquito repellent — this is a must for visitors. Most shops in Digha sell repellent.
• Safety at Sea . The sea becomes rough to very rough during high tide, especially during the new and full moon. It is unsafe to swim during high tide. There is a sea wall which protects Old Digha from erosion, and it is also unsafe to cross the wall during high tide. Most of Digha has No Swim warnings which you should mind. Always obey the commands of the khaki Coast Guards if you want to swim safely.

15 tourist places in Digha to visit

If you are planning to visit Digha, these tourist places will ensure you the most memorable beach holiday ever. 

New Digha Beach

The fact that New Digha Sea Beach has a relatively small number of visitors compared to other beaches in the area contributes to its popularity among tourists. This beach, lined with casuarina trees that are a feast for your eyes, extends for nearly one mile before it meets the sea. Take a stroll on the smooth and warm beach, drink some coconut water, or relax in the embrace of nature while taking in the breathtaking vistas around you.

  Do not miss out on the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that can be seen on New Digha Beach. This beach is both enchanted and beautiful. In addition, there are many additional attractions in Digha, such as gardens and aquariums, that are located close to this beach.

Old Digha Beach

Old Digha Beach is the first sea beach established in the city. This beach was the only one that existed for a significant amount of time. On the other hand, quite a few upgrades and enhancements have been carried out on this beach in recent decades. One of the most important initiatives that the West Bengal government worked on was renovating the Old Digha sea beach.

You will most certainly take pleasure in the view of the sea that you get from the vantage  point. If you want to purchase a memento from Digha, there is a quaint little market located close to the beach.

Shankarpur Beach

The beach at the Shankarpur Sea is often referred to as the twin beach at the New Digha Sea. The beach has parking spaces accessible for visitors. Casuarina trees may be seen growing all over this beach. Digha beach tends to be more congested than Shankarpur beach. You will get a wonderful view of the beach framed by the boats used by local fishermen and by lines of trees.

Mandarmani Beach 

Beachgoers who like to avoid congested locations may find Mandarmani to be an ideal option. You can describe the beach in Mandarmani as a lonely place. However, more and more people are flocking to this location daily. This is one of the most interesting spots to visit around Digha, and it is just 23 kilometres from the city. It is possible to reach Mandarmani via the available local transport options. Compared to the New Digha beach, this beach is flatter and wider. 

Udaipur Beach

The Udaipur beach in Digha is widely regarded as one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches across India’s coastal regions. This beautiful beach is characterised by the presence of towering casuarina trees and impromptu kiosks set up by fishermen to sell their catch. 

There are also a variety of fun activities from which to pick, allowing visitors to have a good time with their loved ones and friends. These include swimming or going for a long stroll along the shoreline, participating in exciting water sports like speed boating or banana boating, riding bicycles, and trying out some regional specialities. The beachside restaurants provide mouthwatering regional specialities, consisting of seafood dishes like fish curries and prawns, and are known for their deliciousness. Coconuts are also very easily accessible here, and their costs are quite low.

Talsari Beach

Talsari beach is often considered one of the most tranquil locations in Digha. Even though this beach is officially in the Baleswar district of Odisha, it is simple to get there from Digha due to its proximity. The beach is at a point where the Bay of Bengal and the Subarnarekha rivers meet. 

The stunningly magnificent scenery of Talsari beach is characterised by the presence of a variety of vegetation, including palm and cashew trees. You can get a more authentic experience of the place by going on a boat excursion in the Bay of Bengal. Swimming in Talsari is a popular activity for a lot of people.

Chandipur Beach 

Chandipur Beach is one of the less well-known locations on the shore of the Bay of Bengal. The beach is often regarded as the best location for taking it easy and unwinding since it provides both a stunning view of the sea and emerald-coloured water. The beach is unlike the beaches found elsewhere in the area since the banks have suffered some erosion, and the water from the sea has produced a recession in the area.

The Marine Aquarium and Research Centre (MARC)

For all of Digha’s visitors, the marine aquarium and regional centre are a must-see sight during their time here. The aquarium is home to three distinct sorts of animals: species of significant conservation value, species that are considered to be “local and fascinating,” and freshwater species. MARC has eight freshwater tanks in addition to 24 huge marine tanks, and it is estimated that it will take you at least two hours to go around. The horseshoe crab, rays, sea snakes, butterflyfish, and sea anemones are just some of the more frequent types of marine life that can be seen in this location.

Digha Science Centre

One of the most popular destinations for tourists in Digha is the Digha Science Centre and National Science Camp, which has many attractions, including 3D theatres, galleries, light and sound performances, and more. If you are travelling with kids, this will be a fantastic destination that the whole family can enjoy exploring together. A nature study on butterflies, a day devoted to yoga, a science quiz, a science fair, workshops on coastal water pollution, and a lot more are just a few of the enjoyable things you can do at the Science Centre. 

Amarabati Park

Amarabati park is a haven of tranquillity away from the clamour and activity of the coastal community; it has verdant grassy meadows, a picture-perfect lake, and colourful flowering plants. The park’s popularity among visitors is likely due in part to the breathtaking panorama it offers of New Digha. The lake in this location is one of the features that attract the greatest attention and intrigue.

While you are touring the park, you can opt for paddling a boat. You can also enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the whole area by taking a trip on the ropeway inside the park.

Bichitrapur Mangrove Sanctuary

Bichitrapur is a modest town in the Baleswar (Balasore) district of Odisha. It is around 15 kilometres away from Digha in West Bengal. The Odisha Forest Sector Development Programme is responsible for developing it to assist in the regeneration, conservation, and preservation of mangrove forests. Taking a boat ride is your best bet to get the most out of a one-hour trip through the forest. This new location has just opened its doors to the general public and has quickly established itself as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Digha area.

Digha Mohona Watch Point

Mohona Watch Point, located near Digha, is a popular tourist destination because it overlooks the point where the River Champa meets the Bay of Bengal. It provides breathtaking panoramas, not just of the dawn but also of the surroundings and the landscape beyond. In the mornings, the site also functions as a bustling fish market, where fishermen come to gather, pack, distribute, and transport many different kinds of fish to a wide variety of places.

There is no better place to be than at the market to feel the energetic nature of Digha’s business life. You can observe dried Bhetki and Hilsa of substantial sizes, both of which are available for purchase here. The Watch Point is a fascinating location; nevertheless, some people may be put off by the strong aroma of fish that permeates there.

It was conceived as a way to pay homage to the fisherman, who constitute the most significant component of the economy of the town.

Because the Digha gate is well-known among travellers, many vacationers choose to take photos in front of it as a memento of their time in India. The gate’s colour scheme of white and blue works very well with the natural elements around it. If you go to the gate in the evening, you will see that it is lit up with lights to make it more festive. Even more stunning is the appearance of the gate when darkness falls.

Digha is West Bengal’s most popular sea resort and tourist spot located south west of Calcutta. It is 187 km from Calcutta and described as the ‘Brighton of the East’, it is best for a holiday. Digha has a low gradient with a shallow sand beach with gentle waves, that extends 7 kms in length.

In Digha, the sea starts about a mile away from the start of the beach. The scenic beauty of this place is charming and luring. The beach is girdled with casuarina plantations along the coast enhancing the beauty of this place. These trees apart from beautifying the sands also aid in reducing the erosion on the dunes.

One can view both sunrise and sunset at Digha sea beach. The sunsets and sunrises reflecting off the salty waters of the Bay of Bengal are something straight off an artist’s easel. The sea at Digha is calm and shallow for about a mile from the beach making it quite safe for swimming.
