One of the most popular beaches in West Bengal, and the best place for a safe dip. The beach here is flat and it gets overcrowded, especially during the cooler winter break. Beer is generally served at the beach by the enterprising locals who would accept payment later by coming with you to your hotel. Beware, they may ask a high price for beer. Other activities in the beach include horse riding, sunbathing, volleyball, cricket, football etc.

The Digha counterpart of Puri's Gundicha Temple, used in Digha Ratha Yatra (Chariot Festival).
The original beach, popular among older generations. However, Old Digha is not safe and conducive for bathing. It is not as wide as it used to be due to heavy soil erosion. Big stones and concrete steps are used to hold together the beach.
