1. Amaravati Park Digha

Amaravati Park is 10 minutes from the Digha railway station, and the ticket price is 5 rupees per person. The park is well-maintained, with trees, flowers, and many seating arrangements. The prime attraction is paddle boating and ropeway riding.

The boating fee is 50 rupees for two people, 60 for four, and 80 for six; a single ride takes 25 minutes. The ropeway carries tourists across the lake from one side to the other. The ticket price is 47 rupees for adults and 30 rupees for a child. Kids can enjoy the slide, swing, and other features. You can easily spend one to two hours in the park.

The park is beside the road, so transport is good. Auto, Toto, and buses are readily available from here.

2. Newly built Jagannath Temple in Digha

Nestled in the serene coastal town of Digha, the Jagannath Temple stands as a divine beacon of faith and heritage. It’s the middle new Digha and the old Digha. This sacred abode, dedicated to Lord Jagannath, attracts devotees seeking peace and spiritual fulfilment. Its traditional architecture, vibrant rituals, and tranquil surroundings make it a must-visit pilgrimage destination in West Bengal.

3. Wonderland Kajal Dighi

Wonderland Kajal Dighi is an amusement park beside Amaravati Park near Udaypur Sea Beach. Toy train and boat riding are specialities here; kids enjoy this place very much.

• Entry fee: Open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.

4. Marine aquarium Digha

The largest Marine Aquarium in Asia was inaugurated on February 4, 2003, midway between the old and new Digha, opposite the hospital. It displays marine animals and plants in 23 large enclosures. It’s one of my favourite tourist spots in Digha.

5. Digha Science Centre

Another Digha tourist place and attraction is the Science City, developed by the National Council of Science Museums. It’s a unique place to visit in Digha. Various models are demonstrated to make science education enjoyable.

You can enjoy cycle racing, watching the planetarium, sitting in an Igloo-type room, and having many other fun things here. On the same premises, they have also developed Jurassic Park.

Timings: Except for Kali puja and holidays, it’s open from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm.

6. Kaju Garden

Kaju Garden is a nice sightseeing spot in Digha, and it offers a lot of information about Kaju trees and nuts. It’s interesting for kids to know those facts. Cashew nuts grow in summer; April or May is the best time to visit. Remember that there is nothing else to see apart from the garden.

It’s like another botanical garden, but it is a rare opportunity to see a cashew garden in West Bengal. It is a well-maintained garden on the Roadside near the Digha Science Centre. It’s a government-operated Cashew Farm. They don’t sell cashews there; here, cashew nuts have just been kept to see.

7. Digha Mohana and Fish Market

Do you love to fish? Walk to Mohana, then buy fish from the local fisherman. Many food stalls are prepared with fish items in front of you. If you give them your raw fish, they will cook it at a nominal price.

There are two Mohonas in Digha, like Bakkhali Beach. One is beside old Digha (the primary market here), and the other is beside Udaypur Beach. You can hire a bike to visit these places.

8. Chandaneswar Temple

Tourists of Digha can easily visit the Orissa Chandaneswar Shiva Temple. The God here is formless, believed to be very potent, and people come from far distances. A gorgeous fair is organised here in the month of “Chaitra.” To visit Chandaneswar temple, rickshaws, vans, buses, and toto cars are available from Digha.

The Howrah—Chandaneswar, Howrah—Balasore, Digha, and Baripada buses go via Digha to Chandaneswar. From Chandaneswar, buses go in different directions in Orissa.

You can go to Chandaneswar and then move on to Chandipur. The nearest railway station is Jaleswar, which is 40 km away.

9. Baba Bhusandeshwar Mandir

If you pay more, hire a bike from the seaside and go to the Baba Bhusandeshwar Mandir on the Orissa border. The Mandir has the largest Shiva Linga in Asia; you should include it in your Digha tour.

10. ISKCON Mandir Digha

ISKCON Mandir is on Bypass Road, Digha. It’s a famous Hindu temple that covers an enormous area. Many devotees visit this mandir daily. ISKCON’s speciality is its architecture and spirituality. Authorities undertake much development work to make the temple attractive to tourists. The Rathayatra is celebrated every year.

It’s still under construction, but it will surely become another prime tourist destination in Digha. The area is on the bypass road. Phone: 087688 65769

11. Bichitrapur island and Mangrove forest

Bichitapur is 25 km from Udaipur Beach. It faces the Subarnarekha River and is well-known for its mangrove forest. The steamer journey is memorable. Keep some extra time to visit this place. This Digha tourist spot is now becoming very popular.

12. Radha Govinda Temple Near Talasari

You can add Radha Govinda Mandir to your trip when you visit Talsari Beach near the Orissa border.

13. Snake Park – The closed Digha tourism place

A snake expert, Shri Dipak Mitra, has constructed a snake park at ‘Kajaldighi’ of Amaravati. Although the snake collection is inadequate, it is an added attraction. However, this snake park is closed now.

14. Udaypur sea beach

Udaypur Sea Beach’s speciality is fresh fish and beer at a reasonable price/budget. You can rent a scooter or a bike. Transport facilities are not smooth in Udaypur. You should have a car to go to this place, or hire an hourly Toto/Auto. Bargain with them, and they decrease the rent. Oceana Tourist Complex is near Udaypur Sea Beach, and it’s a good place to stay.

15. Talsari sea beach

Talsari is 4 km from the Chandaneswar temple. You can go by rickshaw and enjoy the quiet sea town of Talsari. This place is ideal for those who find loneliness. The sunsets and sunrises are both renowned in Talsari, as they are in Gangasagar. While returning from Talsari towards the border, I saw another sea beach on the road called Udaypur.

16. Mandarmani sea beach

One of the most costly seaside beaches in the area. Those who can afford luxury travel love this place. You will get many modern facilities in hotels. Driving your own car is the most convenient option. You can enjoy driving along the beach because it’s a long, motorable stretch.

17. Tajpur Sea Beach, West Bengal

Tajpur is one of my favourite sea beaches near Digha. It is a low-crowded place. The place is clean, and it’s like a private beach. Nobody will disturb you like Digha. I found only a few small beachside shops on Tajpur beach. And they charge a lot. Enjoy the sunrise; youwill see red crabs on the beach in the morning.

18. Bankiput Sea beach

You can spend a vacation relaxing in this. Nobody disturbs you. Please note, do not expect to bathe on the sea beach. You can get the seawater only at high tide. We walk 2 km into the sea in the evening, but only get mud.

19. Shankarpur Sea Beach

Shankarpur, or Digha’s twin, is a virgin beach and a famous fishing harbour for fishers. Hauling fishing nets and reflecting the morning sun present an early morning panoramic view of the beach.

The coastal strip of Shankarpur is close to Mandarmani Beach (24 km approx), and the Digha fishing market is very close to here.

20. Junput Sea Beach

Another sea beach is near Digha. It is 40 km from Digha and connected to the Contai Road. It is famous for its fish processing, particularly dried fish. It is better to stay in Tajpur or Mandarmani.

Casuarina trees surround Junput, West Bengal’s beach resort. The beach is isolated and calm. Junput’s tranquillity and peaceful environment are well-known to many travellers. A marine biology centre and a duck breeding farm are near the beach. The best months to visit are October through March.

21. Chandpur Beach Near Digha

It’s a new, clean beach near Digha. The stoppage is at Balisai near Sankarpur. Toto is available for Chandpur, and the sea beach is 20 minutes away. You can also visit Balisai Rajbari from here.

During a full moon, it looks mesmerising. The sea looks silver, and the beach turns golden. Its bank is a little eroded while the shoreline faces saltwater recession. Chandpur is a perfect place to enjoy weekends, watching sunsets and strolling along the shore.

22. Baguran Jalpai Beach

Baguran Jalpai on the Bay of Bengal is a peaceful beach with dense casuarina trees. The soft waves, cool breeze, and mesmerising sunset present a breathtaking panorama. Visitors can visit the nearby village and fishing harbour to interact with local anglers and learn about their lives at sea.

It’s a newly discovered beach with few crowds. There are very few hotel options, and this beach is easily accessible from Contai.

23. Dariapur Lighthouse

Dariapur Lighthouse (98 feet) is located near Kapalkundala Mandir and has a visibility range of 19 sea miles. In 1943, the local port office supervised the use of a wick lamp on a 20-meter steel mast. A sun valve (DA gas equipment) gradually replaced the wick lamp. This structure was dismantled in 1964.

In 1999, an RCC lighthouse (current) was erected 1 km East of the previous site. The lighthouse used PV equipment such as halide lamps and fewer maintenance batteries, which were later replaced with better, more effective equipment. It’s an excellent place to visit near Digha.

24. Dariapur Kapalkundala Mandir

In Dariapur, Contai in Midnapore (East), two temples are situated- a Chandi mandir (Dalan style) and a Shiva mandir (Atchala style). These temples were built by Atmaram Pal (a villager). West Bengal Heritage Commission recognised Kapalkundala Mandir as a heritage site.

Kapalkundala Mandir’s scenic beauty inspired Bankim Chandra (Deputy Magistrate) to write a novel with the same name. According to the novel, a Kapalik (Tantrik) founded this temple and completed his sadhana (meditation).

While staying at Dariapur, Bankim met a Tantrik who inspired the character of “Tantrik” in his novel. The character of “Kapalkundala” is inspired by kidnapped village girls sold into slavery by Portuguese pirates. 

25. Dheu Sagar Park – New Digha

Dheu Sagar Park is a new attraction centre in New Digha. It is an amusement park that overlooks the beach. The distance between Dheu Sagar and the beach is 10 minutes. 

There are many statues of humans and animals with sitting areas for visitors. The major attraction of Dheu Sagar is a replica of the “Sonar Tori” (golden boat). Inside, a beautiful Radha-Krishna idol is built.
