| Frazerganj and Bakkhali , the white sand twin beaches, are entirely different from the other beaches. They are pristine pure and hold the charms of a beach unspoilt. They can be accessed from Kolkata and are a four-hour's drive. The destination is also all too famous for migratory birds that can be sighted over there. |

| Ganga sagar , the culturally and religiously important destination, also has an exceptionally good beach for the tourists. Situated on an island on the confluence of River Ganga, it holds the charms of a completely unspoilt beach on the estuary of the mighty Ganga.It is a lovely destination combining pilgrimage and fun. Even where there is no sandy beach on the coastline, the view of the waves and of the fishermen struggling for the catch will be no less charming. |
