Digha which lies in the Purba Medinipur District at the northern end of Bay of Bengal is one of the most popular sea resorts and tourist spots in West Bengal. It is a one-stop destination for married couples and families. Digha has a shallow sand beach with low gradient that is washed by the gentle rolling waves. The Casuarinas trees that borders the beach area throughout, adds to the charm and beauty of Digha.
