About the destination:

In close proximity to the Golden beaches of Digha & Shankarpur, it is a little unknown weekend beach destination from Kolkata.

Visit one of the oldest traditional fishermen villages along the Bay of Bengal and listen to the rolling waves. An inverted crescent-shaped beach of Tajpur offers a great panoramic view of the horizon and the sea.
