Our dear West Bengal has many intersesting places for travel .Some of them are.......
Digha................
Digha The Southern West Bengal is endowed with the most famous beach on the eastern coast of India – Digha. The beach town of Digha is famous all over for flat, hard beaches. Digha beach is girdled with casuarina plantations along the coast. The sea is calm and shallow for about a mile from the beach making it quite safe for swimming.

Shankarpur .................
Shankarpur, is a recent discovery. It is a twin beach of Digha, around 10 km. from it. It offers nearly all the pleasures of a private beach. This beach too is cupped with casuarina plantations.Shankarpur is now developed as a sea resort with hotels, tourist lodges and other facilities.

Junput ..............
Junput fish firm not far away ,from Digha by bus;it also has a beautiful sea beach with a change at Contai. The place offers beautiful sea-view and lines of casuarina trees. The beach is unspoilt


Sagardwip
A lovely destination combining pilgrimage and fun, situated on an island in the Sunderban, holds the charms of a completely unspoilt beach on the estuary of the mighty Ganga. Sagardwip presents a quiet, silvery expanse of beach and the calm seaprovides the perfect setting for a quiet weekend.
On Makar Sankranti day in winter (mid-January), pilgrims from all over India congregate at Sagardwip to take a holy dip at the confluence of the river Ganga and the Bay of Bengal. After the holy dip, they offer ‘Puja’ at the nearby ashram associated with the legendary sage Kapil Muni. Gangasagar Mela, held on the occasion of Makar Sankranti is the largest fair in West Bengal.



Bakkhali and Frazerganj
It is so near Kolkata and yet so very different from the bustling metropolis that is Kolkata. Bakkhali is only 132 km from Kolkata.En rout, there is Diamond Harbour where there is a comfortable Tourist Lodge for accommodation.
At Bakkhali, the beach is long and sandy, the waves twinkling in the sunlight. Dense casuarina groves drape the beach. Red fiddler crabs march in line on the beach.
