  • Digha Sea Beach
    ---------------------------------------
    Digha Beach is in the East Midnapore District of West Bengal. There's actually an Old Digha Beach. The government constructed a new beach, about 2 km away from the Older Digha Beach. The New Digha Beach is bigger and better than the Old Digha Beach.
    Supposedly, the New Digha Beach is able to hold more crowds than the smaller Old Digha Beach. The waves are gentle here and the water is shallow enough. However, some parts of the shores are covered with stones to control the tides. Aside from that, it isn't as clean as the Puri Beach. It's also overcrowded especially during the weekends.
    Just nearby the beach, there are attractions like the Marine Aquarium and Research Center and the Amarabati Park.
    Puri Sea Beach:
    ----------------------------------------
    Puri Beach is located in the city of Puri in the state of Odisha. This beach is a very well-known Hindu sacred place as the Jagannath Temple is located nearby. Aside from that, the annual Puri Beach Festival is held here, wherein sand art displays are showcased.
    The annual beach festival attracts many tourists during the month of November. Sand sculptures done by the famous Sudarshan Patnaik are a major attraction during the festival. There are various subjects in the sculptures, ranging from Hindu mythology and even contemporary literature.
    The Puri Beach also boasts of a long stretch of shoreline. The main areas might be crowded, especially on weekends and public holidays. But venture further into the beach and you might just find a more secluded area.
    There are also no shortage of food stalls, shacks, eateries, resorts and hotels around the beach. Staying nearby the beach won't be a problem. But you need to book in advance during peak season as Puri is one of the top destinations especially for its beaches.
    The water of the sea is quite brought though especially during November onward. However, the shores and the water are generally clean. If you'd just like to enjoy the sunset view, I'd recommend the Puri Beach. However, for non-swimmers, be careful when venturing out in the deeper water as the waves can be quite strong.
