Digha is a charming sea resort lying around 200 km from Calcutta. The placid sea waters make it a haven for bathing. Embraced by Casuarina groves, the resort is a fine getaway from the maddening crowd and was a most opted pleasure spot for the British. This very wide beach of clean sand is unusual in its view of unhindered openness.
Bakkhali too is a great diversion from the crowd and is 132 km off Calcutta. The endless sublimity of sea and sky, the sandy shore and rippling waves make it just the right place for silent contemplation.
