Mandarmani Beach
Stretching over 13 kilometres along the Bay of Bengal, Mandarmani Beach is one of India's longest drive-in beaches, a rare and exhilarating experience in itself. The beach is known for its clean sands, gentle waves, and the charming spectacle of thousands of red crabs scurrying along the shoreline. A wide range of water sports is available right on the beach, including jet skiing, banana boat rides, parasailing, and speed boat excursions. Sunset walks along the water's edge are especially memorable.

Mohana Delta
At the far western end of Mandarmani Beach lies the Mohana—the estuary where the Champa River meets the Bay of Bengal. This tranquil confluence is a favourite spot for nature lovers and photographers, offering breathtaking views of the sunrise and sunset over the water. The delta is also a rich habitat for migratory birds, particularly in the winter months, making it a rewarding destination for birdwatchers. Fishing settlements and dense groves of Jhanu tress complete the picture.

Tajpur Beach
Tajpur is a beautifully secluded beach located between Mandarmani and Shankarpur, framed by casuarina and tamarisk trees that lend it a distinctive, almost tropical character. The beach is far quieter and less developed than Digha, making it ideal for a peaceful day by the sea. It is also known for its red crab population, similar to Mandarmani, and the scenic views across the bay are stunning. A short drive makes it an easy and rewarding day excursion.

Shankarpur Beach
Shankarpur is a laid-back fishing village and beach that offers a glimpse into the authentic coastal life of Bengal. The harbour here is an active centre of the local fishing community, and watching the fishermen bring in their daily catch is a colourful and atmospheric experience. The beach itself is clean, calm, and lined with casuarina trees, and the recently developed Biswa Bangla Park adds a modern recreational dimension to the visit.

The temple complex enshrines the deities Jagannath, Balarama, and Subhadra, and has quickly become a significant pilgrimage and tourist destination along the Bengal coast.
