Digha Beach is a popular seaside destination in West Bengal, situated in the town of Digha along the Bay of Bengal. Known as the “Brighton of the East,” it is celebrated for its long stretch of golden sands, shallow surf, and accessibility from Kolkata—making it one of eastern India’s most frequented coastal getaways.
Digha Beach extends for several kilometers with a gentle gradient, making it safe for wading and swimming. The shore is bordered by casuarina plantations that protect dunes from erosion and add to its scenic appeal. New Digha, developed nearby, offers cleaner sands and modern facilities, while Old Digha retains its rugged charm with stone embankments built to reduce tidal damage.
