Location
Shankarpur Beach, a twin beach in Digha, is considered as a virgin beach. This beach is dotted with Casuarinas plantation and is popular for its beautiful shell collection that is displayed by the fishermen. Often referred to as the wide tree-lined beach, the site is renowned for its red-crab population.
This regular fishing harbour is situated on the Digha-Contai Road. A rest-house, operated by the West Bengal Fisheries Corporation, is located close to the beach. Tourists can reach this beach with the help of state operated buses, from the towns of Kolkata and Shankarpur.
