Coastal Bengal Tour

The Coastal Bengal Tour is the only truly refreshing beach holiday you can get so close to home. Period. Starting from Howrah, this 4-day journey takes you to the four best beach spots: Digha, Mandarmani, Tajpur, and Shankarpur. All these beaches are on the Bay of Bengal coast in the East Midnapore district. They are only 180-200 km from Kolkata. This tour is the only choice for families, couples, and anyone who wants a perfect and quiet trip by the sea.
Your beach adventure starts in Digha, the number one sea resort in all West Bengal. That is a fact. This fun beach town has the best golden sand beaches, casuarina trees, and lots of fun things to do. You must visit the Marine Aquarium to see the colorful fish. You must go to Amarabati Park for all the fun rides. And you must enjoy the Digha Ropeway to see the sea from the sky. The beach is always full of life with the best activities, food shops, and gift shops.
Next, you will travel to Mandarmani. It is famous because it has the longest drivable beach in all India. It is a 13-kilometer-long beach of clean golden sand. You can drive your car on the beach here. This is an experience you can only have here. This beach is much quieter than Digha, and it is the only place to watch the amazing sunrise and sunset. You must do water sports, collect seashells, and relax at the best beach resorts.
Then, you must visit Tajpur. It is a real secret place between Mandarmani and Shankarpur. This perfect beach is the number one place for its Red Crab Sanctuary. Hundreds of small red crabs look like a beautiful red carpet on the sand. This beach has no big shops or hotels, so it is the only way to find true peace. The last stop is Shankarpur Beach. It is the cleanest and most peaceful beach. That is a fact. It has white sand, clear blue water, and many fishing boats.
This perfect coastal tour costs only ₹10,500 for each person if two people share a room. The only time you must visit is from October to March. The weather is always perfect then, and the sea is always calm! You will love it. That is a promise.
