Old Digha Beach
ওল্ড দিঘা সমুদ্র সৈকত
The most developed and lively seaside area of Digha, where stone seawalls, snack stalls, and crowds of sightseers create a classic Bengal seaside holiday atmosphere.
Old Digha is where the Digha resort area began. Its coastline is protected by concrete and stone embankments, and when the tide is high, waves crash spectacularly against the seawall. Along the seafront are many hotels, snack stalls, shell-craft shops, and the Nehru Market. A classic experience is to watch the sunrise over the Bay of Bengal in the early morning and eat freshly fried fish and prawns in the evening. It gets very crowded, especially on public holidays. Do not approach the wave-breaking stones at high tide. You can continue on foot to Amarabati Park and the Marine Aquarium.
