Gentle waves coming into shore at Bakkhali beach

The beautiful, relaxing sight of waves coming into shore at Bakkhali beach.

Bakkhali beach on the Bay of Bengal is part of a shipping route, linking with other areas.
Bakkhali is seaside resort in the South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, India. It is located on one of the many deltaic islands thats spread across southern Bengal. Most of the islands are part of the Sunderbans range, barring a few at the fringes. Some of these are joined together with bridges over narrow creeks. This small island juts out into the vastness of the Bay of Bengal.

It has a 7 km long beach stretching from Bakkhali to Frasergunj, its twin beach, with gently rolling waves. These are twin towns now forming one continuous locality. Casuarina trees line the beach. Except on an occasional holiday the beach is not crowded. Even if one part is crowded on a particular day, there will be plenty of barren pockets. A small stretch near Bakkhali has been lighted up. The beach is suitable for cycling, driving and long walks

Sir Andrew Fraser, Lieutenant Governor of Bengal (1903--1908) in the early twentieth century, is credited with the "discovery" of the place. He tried his best to popularise it and in recognition of his efforts a part of the town is named Frasergunj. There is a dilapidated house near the beach, which according to the locals was the one in which Fraser used to stay.
