Mandarmani Beach
মন্দারমণি সমুদ্র সৈকত
One of the longest drivable beaches in West Bengal. The sand is firm and flat, resorts line the shore, and water sports and masses of red crabs are the main attractions.
Mandarmani lies about 25 km from Digha. The beach is about 13 km long, with firm sand and a very gentle slope. It was once famous for allowing cars to drive on the sand, though driving onto the beach is now restricted. Along the coast is a cluster of seaside hotels that Kolkata residents visit on weekends. They offer activities such as banana boats, motorboats, and sand buggies. In the early morning, clusters of red crabs on the sand make for striking photos. Overall it is quieter than Digha, and it is a good place to stay overnight and watch the sunrise. It takes about 40 minutes to reach by hired car from Digha, and you can also travel via Contai.
