Located in South 24 Parganas, approximately 155 km from Kolkata, Bankiput is a peaceful little haven on the West Bengal shore. It's a great spot when you need a long drive and want a quiet getaway from the typical throng because of its serene waves and untouched attractiveness. The casuarina (Jhau) woods that encircle the beach add to its natural beauty and provide a sense of peace. Petuaghat Fishing Port, which is near the beach, offers a glimpse of local life as boats arrive, fisherman fix their nets, and there's a busy hum around. The Dariyapur Lighthouse, which stands nearby, offers expansive panoramas from its summit as well as an opportunity to appreciate its historic appeal.
