Shankarpur Beach
শংকরপুর সমুদ্র সৈকত
A fishing port beach east of Digha, where fishing boats come and go, fish are dried in the sun, and a quiet beach coexists. It offers a glimpse of life in a Bengali fishing village.
Shankarpur lies about 14 km from Digha and is an important local fishing port. In the early morning you can watch boats returning to dock, unloading catches, and fishermen sorting seafood. The beach is quieter than Digha's, and the shore has breakwater stones. Some stretches are heavily eroded, so the beach suits walking and photography better than swimming. It takes about 30 minutes to reach from Digha by e-rickshaw or hired car, and it is usually visited together with Tajpur and Mandarmani.
