User reviews
"This beach in the Digha Area is truly exceptional. The charming shacks and amenities lining the shore enhance the appeal of this less crowded beach. Visitors, whether individuals, families, or groups of friends, can enjoy ample time relaxing by the water. However, it is advisable to avoid walking alone at night due to safety concerns."

"Gorgeous and extremely pristine shoreline due to the limited amount of visitors. However, the recent pathway constructed by the West Bengal government from Digha to Sankarpur is absolutely marvelous. Incredibly picturesque. Somewhat secluded with a small number of accommodations."
