Shankarpur
It is a twin beach of
Digha, not far from Digha and situated at a distance
of 14 kms only from Digha. This pristine,
lesser-known beach calls the tourists for a quiet
vacation.
Shankarpur lies to the
east of Digha, along the Digha–Contai Road. This
place is mainly famous for the Shankarpur Fishing
Harbour Project. It is also being developed as a
beach resort. Shankarpur is mainly credited for all
the advantages of Digha and decreasing the crowd of
Digha. It can boast of a wide and unspoilt beach,
casuarina groves by the side of a gentle sea and a
good climate round the year. It is also a regular
fishing harbour.
This beach too is cupped with casuarina plantations. |
