Top 5 Best Places To Visit In Digha – Don’t Miss

Curious Kasturi

• Published: September 7, 2023

Located in the East Midnapore district of West Bengal, Digha is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the state. This seaside tourist site garners several tourists from not only West Bengal but from different parts of India. As this site is located only 187 km from the capital of West Bengal,  Kolkata , residents of the city visit in Digha quite frequently. Digha is commonly known as the “Brighton of the East”.

One of the most famous attractions of Digha is its sea beach which is over 7 km long. Even though the sea beach of the town is pretty shallow, tourists often go there to enjoy the sea.

Many people do not know this, but Digha was one of the most favorite places of Warren Hastings. He was the person who discovered this site and converted Digha into a tourist site. While writing a letter to his wife, Warren Hastings described Digha as “Brighton of the East.” The discovery of this majestic site happened in 1780. In 1923, Digha again became the center of attention when the world-famous English traveler, John Frank Smith started residing there. He was so mesmerized by this town’s simple beauty, that he decided to stay there permanently. Even though you might know that the then chief minister of West Bengal was the pioneer of turning Digha into a lucrative tourist spot, you might not know that it is John Frank Smith, who convinced him to take that step.

Digha is a perfect site for a short weekend getaway. Most people visit there to blow off some steam. If you ever visit there, try watching the sunset and sunrise in Digha. The view of the sea in the said times is breathtakingly beautiful. Throughout the city, you will find palm trees. The location of these trees by the sea beach makes this town even more beautiful. One of the best things about Digha is that, as the beach is pretty shallow and located pretty far from the Bay of Bengal, you will be able to swim there without any fear. Apart from the sea beach, there are many places in Digha that you might have never heard about.

In this blog, we are going to discuss the best places in Digha in detail. Reaching Digha has become a lot easier after it got a railway station in 2004. Now, tourists from nearby cities like Kolkata visit Digha within two to three hours by train. If you want to visit Digha by using an airplane, you will have to travel there from Kolkata. The nearest airport from Digha is located in Kolkata. Usually, people rent cars from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose airport in Kolkata to visit Digha. Many people love to go to Digha by driving their cars. The route from Kolkata to Digha is quite beautiful and is great for a road trip.

15 tourist places in Digha to visit

If you are planning to visit Digha, these tourist places will ensure you the most memorable beach holiday ever. 

New Digha Beach

The fact that New Digha Sea Beach has a relatively small number of visitors compared to other beaches in the area contributes to its popularity among tourists. This beach, lined with casuarina trees that are a feast for your eyes, extends for nearly one mile before it meets the sea. Take a stroll on the smooth and warm beach, drink some coconut water, or relax in the embrace of nature while taking in the breathtaking vistas around you.

  Do not miss out on the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that can be seen on New Digha Beach. This beach is both enchanted and beautiful. In addition, there are many additional attractions in Digha, such as gardens and aquariums, that are located close to this beach.

Old Digha Beach

Old Digha Beach is the first sea beach established in the city. This beach was the only one that existed for a significant amount of time. On the other hand, quite a few upgrades and enhancements have been carried out on this beach in recent decades. One of the most important initiatives that the West Bengal government worked on was renovating the Old Digha sea beach.

You will most certainly take pleasure in the view of the sea that you get from the vantage  point. If you want to purchase a memento from Digha, there is a quaint little market located close to the beach.

Shankarpur Beach

The beach at the Shankarpur Sea is often referred to as the twin beach at the New Digha Sea. The beach has parking spaces accessible for visitors. Casuarina trees may be seen growing all over this beach. Digha beach tends to be more congested than Shankarpur beach. You will get a wonderful view of the beach framed by the boats used by local fishermen and by lines of trees.

Mandarmani Beach 

Beachgoers who like to avoid congested locations may find Mandarmani to be an ideal option. You can describe the beach in Mandarmani as a lonely place. However, more and more people are flocking to this location daily. This is one of the most interesting spots to visit around Digha, and it is just 23 kilometres from the city. It is possible to reach Mandarmani via the available local transport options. Compared to the New Digha beach, this beach is flatter and wider. 

Udaipur Beach

The Udaipur beach in Digha is widely regarded as one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches across India’s coastal regions. This beautiful beach is characterised by the presence of towering casuarina trees and impromptu kiosks set up by fishermen to sell their catch. 

There are also a variety of fun activities from which to pick, allowing visitors to have a good time with their loved ones and friends. These include swimming or going for a long stroll along the shoreline, participating in exciting water sports like speed boating or banana boating, riding bicycles, and trying out some regional specialities. The beachside restaurants provide mouthwatering regional specialities, consisting of seafood dishes like fish curries and prawns, and are known for their deliciousness. Coconuts are also very easily accessible here, and their costs are quite low.

Talsari Beach

Talsari beach is often considered one of the most tranquil locations in Digha. Even though this beach is officially in the Baleswar district of Odisha, it is simple to get there from Digha due to its proximity. The beach is at a point where the Bay of Bengal and the Subarnarekha rivers meet. 

The stunningly magnificent scenery of Talsari beach is characterised by the presence of a variety of vegetation, including palm and cashew trees. You can get a more authentic experience of the place by going on a boat excursion in the Bay of Bengal. Swimming in Talsari is a popular activity for a lot of people.

Chandipur Beach 

Chandipur Beach is one of the less well-known locations on the shore of the Bay of Bengal. The beach is often regarded as the best location for taking it easy and unwinding since it provides both a stunning view of the sea and emerald-coloured water. The beach is unlike the beaches found elsewhere in the area since the banks have suffered some erosion, and the water from the sea has produced a recession in the area.

The Marine Aquarium and Research Centre (MARC)

For all of Digha’s visitors, the marine aquarium and regional centre are a must-see sight during their time here. The aquarium is home to three distinct sorts of animals: species of significant conservation value, species that are considered to be “local and fascinating,” and freshwater species. MARC has eight freshwater tanks in addition to 24 huge marine tanks, and it is estimated that it will take you at least two hours to go around. The horseshoe crab, rays, sea snakes, butterflyfish, and sea anemones are just some of the more frequent types of marine life that can be seen in this location.

Digha Science Centre

One of the most popular destinations for tourists in Digha is the Digha Science Centre and National Science Camp, which has many attractions, including 3D theatres, galleries, light and sound performances, and more. If you are travelling with kids, this will be a fantastic destination that the whole family can enjoy exploring together. A nature study on butterflies, a day devoted to yoga, a science quiz, a science fair, workshops on coastal water pollution, and a lot more are just a few of the enjoyable things you can do at the Science Centre. 

Amarabati Park

Amarabati park is a haven of tranquillity away from the clamour and activity of the coastal community; it has verdant grassy meadows, a picture-perfect lake, and colourful flowering plants. The park’s popularity among visitors is likely due in part to the breathtaking panorama it offers of New Digha. The lake in this location is one of the features that attract the greatest attention and intrigue.

While you are touring the park, you can opt for paddling a boat. You can also enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the whole area by taking a trip on the ropeway inside the park.

Bichitrapur Mangrove Sanctuary

Bichitrapur is a modest town in the Baleswar (Balasore) district of Odisha. It is around 15 kilometres away from Digha in West Bengal. The Odisha Forest Sector Development Programme is responsible for developing it to assist in the regeneration, conservation, and preservation of mangrove forests. Taking a boat ride is your best bet to get the most out of a one-hour trip through the forest. This new location has just opened its doors to the general public and has quickly established itself as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Digha area.

Digha Mohona Watch Point

Mohona Watch Point, located near Digha, is a popular tourist destination because it overlooks the point where the River Champa meets the Bay of Bengal. It provides breathtaking panoramas, not just of the dawn but also of the surroundings and the landscape beyond. In the mornings, the site also functions as a bustling fish market, where fishermen come to gather, pack, distribute, and transport many different kinds of fish to a wide variety of places.

There is no better place to be than at the market to feel the energetic nature of Digha’s business life. You can observe dried Bhetki and Hilsa of substantial sizes, both of which are available for purchase here. The Watch Point is a fascinating location; nevertheless, some people may be put off by the strong aroma of fish that permeates there.

Diga Jahaz Bari 

New Digha is home to the exquisitely crafted showhouse combining park known as Jahaz Bari. The inside is adorned with sculptures of fish and dolphins, while the outside is fashioned in the style of a ship.

Kajal Dighi Wonderland  

Wonder Land, also known as Kajal Dighi, is a location that people of all ages would enjoy visiting. You may have a fantastic time at the park, which has a railway model and various swings for you to choose. Because there are so many activities and attractions geared toward children, you must pay a visit to this park if you travel with children. The location is well-known for its peaceful vistas, making it an excellent destination for tourists to check out. In addition, you may go boating here if you want.

When arriving in Digha by roadway, the Digha gate will be the very first sighting catching your attention. The Digha gate is not like any other entrance in the city. The gate is designed in such a way that it resembles a fishing boat from the outside. It was conceived as a way to pay homage to the fisherman, who constitute the most significant component of the economy of the town.

Because the Digha gate is well-known among travellers, many vacationers choose to take photos in front of it as a memento of their time in India. The gate’s colour scheme of white and blue works very well with the natural elements around it. If you go to the gate in the evening, you will see that it is lit up with lights to make it more festive. Even more stunning is the appearance of the gate when darkness falls.
