So then what are you waiting for, let's move forward in this journey...
Bakkhali, West Bengal
Bakkhali Beach is on the southern edge of West Bengal, at the delta at the meeting point of the Ganges and the Bay of Bengal. Cross a small creek to reach Bakkhali, the gateway to the Sundarbans. Partially surrounded by casuarina trees, this beach is best enjoyed when the tide comes in. The inter-tidal zone is worth exploring for marine life, and you can take a short coastal trip of about 7 km from Bakkhali to Fraserganj. Local eateries serve typical Bengali cuisine, including delicious and expensive dishes of saltwater fish, crabs and prawns.
Gopalpur-On-Sea, Odisha
Once home to retired British and Anglo-Indian Railway employees, this traditional haunt of Bengali tourists in Odisha is now developing into a major resort. Day trips are rare and you can see fishermen bringing in their fish in the early morning and late afternoon. From the local lighthouse, which is open briefly in the afternoon, you can have sweeping views of the Bay of Bengal and the neighboring countryside.
Bheemili, Andhra Pradesh
Formally called Bheemunipatnam, this picturesque beach is rarely a part of any tourist itinerary. This is where the Gosthani River meets the Bay of Bengal. The wide expanse of sandy beaches makes it a great place to enjoy the ocean, but the nearby historical sites make it a fascinating place to visit. There are several remains of large Buddhist monastic complexes, the main one being that of Thotlakonda, located on a hill overlooking the city. An important site for colonial dominance in the region, Bhimili also contains the remains of 17th-century Dutch East India Company trading posts.
