Digha is a very common name
for the Bengali People. In other words, we can say that Digha is the most
popular week-end tourist spot in Bengal.
In the way to hotel from
Digha Flag Station you will definitely enjoy the yellow sand and tamarisk tree.

| People are enjoying the Sea-Bath |
Before taking the sea-bath
just walk through the beach from Old
Digha to New Digha or vice-verse. The beauty of the wave of Bay-of-Bengal surely you will keep in your
mind for a long time. At the evening you
can enjoy the sea also, seated on the bolder with various kind of snacks and
ice-creams and delicious cashew nuts.
You can visit ‘Amarabati Park’, near New Digha. Here you can
enjoy the boating at the artificial lake of ‘Amarabati park’. From here you may visit the ‘Digha
Snake Garden’.
