Top 7 Things to Do in Bakkhali on a Relaxing Weekend Trip

Bakkhali is South Bengal's most serene coastal haven—famous for hard flat beaches where you can cycle along the shoreline, red ghost crab colonies, and magnificent mangrove islands.

1. Witness the Golden Sunset at Bakkhali Sea Beach

Unlike busier commercial beaches, Bakkhali offers peaceful wide shores facing the Bay of Bengal. During low tide, millions of harmless red ghost crabs scurry across the sand, creating a breathtaking crimson tapestry.

2. Explore the Mangrove Canopy of Henry's Island

Just a 10-minute drive from Hotel Banashree lies Henry's Island, developed by the West Bengal State Fisheries. Walk along elevated wooden piers through dense mangrove forests and climb the watchtower for a 360-degree panorama.

3. Visit the Fishing Harbour & Windmills at Fraserganj

Watch colorful trawlers return with the day's fresh catch and stroll past the iconic coastal windmills lining the beach road.

4. Relish Authentic Bengali Seafood at Hotel Banashree

Indulge in freshly prepared Hilsa, Pomfret curry, and tiger prawns simmered in mustard and coconut milk at our in-house dining hall.
