Sagardwip

The information in this post might be outdated

An island in the Sunderban, Sagardwip Beach lies right on the estuary of the River Ganga, which adds both beauty and sanctity to it. Miles of silvery sand, the expanse of shimmering waters and clear blue skies - need we say more? The surrounding waters of the Bay of Bengal have low undercurrents and tides, making it ideal for swimming. Every year, in the month of January, the Gangasagar Mela held here witnesses a huge influx of pilgrims from different parts of the country. The beautiful Sagar Lighthouse adds to the popularity of the beach.
