Made famous by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee's classic novel Kapalkundala. (1866). It is a story of a forest-dwelling girl named Kapalkundala, who fell in love with and married a young man from the city, but eventually found that she was unable to adjust herself to city life. There's also a memorial to Bankim Chandra Chatterjee. Of course, don't expect a Dakshineswar here!

It is fully operational. Visitors can climb to the top and have a good view of the area
It is fairly long beach, starting around 2-3 km from the resort. What is shown on the map is roughly the centre of the beach. This is a good sandy beach.
If you go there having the sea in your mind then you will be quite disappointed. The water has shifted far off from there and the only thing left is white muddy sand. The sand too is only visible at either Gopalpur (not the one in Odisha, this one is about 2 km from Junput) or Haripur. At Gopalpur, one could find a beautiful beach with fir trees and red crabs along the beach. Be sure to go during the high tide. The fir trees provide a wonderful place for picnics. The beach is really deserted and is very tranquil.
