Latest reviews on West Bengal's beaches

Mandarmani Beach
10 Ariana Dutt

The seaside is a fantastic escape for enjoyment and unwinding. When the tides are low, it tends to be significantly wider and easily reachable, but when the tides are high, the water reaches the edges of nearby resorts. Numerous resorts are situated right next to the shoreline, each with their own private beach areas. Various entertaining activities take place on the beach.

Gobardhanpur Beach
8 Zander Kellan

The condition of the beach is not up to par, often referred to as G-plot. It is completely empty and feels like a deserted area.

Shankarpur Sea Beach
8 Suvik Datta

With the evolution of the coastal road (Saikat Sundari) and multiple hotels, this location has been attracting more visitors in recent times. In the past, there were only a couple of resorts, but now there are at least 10. The shoreline remains unspoiled, and the trees provide ample shade. Additionally, it is known for being one of the most swimmer-friendly beaches. The surrounding area has also been effectively developed to combat any potential beach erosion.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 9 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
