01The route
All three beaches sit on the same stretch of the Bay of Bengal coast, roughly 170–185 km from Kolkata. The drive takes 4–5 hours depending on traffic.
02Which beach for you
Digha is the busiest and most developed, Mandarmani offers the longest stretch of sand with beachfront resorts, and Tajpur is the quietest of the three.
03Trip planning
Two to three days covers the circuit comfortably. Stay one night per beach, or base yourself at one and day-trip to the others.
Quick tips
- Start early to avoid weekend traffic out of Kolkata
- Check the weather — the coast changes fast
- Pack light; beachwear and a camera are all you need
