Udaypur Sea Beach in West Bengal

Udaipur is a beautiful seaside beach in the lap of nature, located 3 kilometres from Digha station.

It is close to the West Bengal-Orissa border, and this magnificent beach is about 3 kilometres long. Many fishers set up temporary stalls on the beach and sold fresh sea fish.

The destination is perfect for a small weekend tour from Kolkata. You feel very romantic on the beach. This hidden beach is lonely, and the only option for staying is the Oceana tourist complex. It’s government property.

You can stay at nearby hotels/ guest houses (Digha), which also offer reasonable accommodation at a cheap rate. But all are on the roadside. This place is for fish lovers. A variety of fish you can get here.

Udaipur beach tent booking

Another option for staying in Udaipur is a tent. You should book before going to this place—address: West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation Ltd. 3/2, BBD Bag East Road—033-2243-6440. A one-day tent fair costs 600 rupees with a complimentary breakfast. Please note that fares may increase. The tent and door were made of solid cloth.

 As the tent does not have a kitchen or food facilities, book your meal with the caretaker. They serve high-quality food, including fresh fish and crab on demand. The toilet is attached to the tent, but it is not as clean as expected. Enjoy your evening with a lantern in front of your tent. Phone: 094340 18849

3. Shankarpur sea beach

Shankarpur Sea Beach is 14 km east of Digha. It’s a virgin beach that serves as a daily harbour for fishing. This coastal strip, near Mandarmani, is also called Digha’s twin.

The reflection of sunlight on the seawater and on fishing boats on shore provides a panoramic view of Shankarpur. In the morning, visitors glimpse fishermen spreading their nets to catch fish.

4. Mandarmani sea beach

This tour includes the most expensive beach, with costly hotel rates. However, it’s less crowded and the best option for couples.

I love this place very much. Tajpur is the perfect destination for families. It’s a lonely place, and the entire sea is yours. I recommend bringing at least two families to Tajpur.

It’s very near Contai. Hotel options are very few.

Best time to visit Udaipur

You can visit anytime during the year. But I think it is best not to go during the rainy season, when the sea waves are very unpredictable.

  1. Sorry, to interrupt you. Udaypur Sea beach is in state of Odisha in Baleshwar district and it doesn’t belongs to Digha area. The facilities that West bengal is giving is to give the false claims of Udaypur belongs to their part. So my request is don’t spread false claims of West bengal government.
