About 14 kms from the popular West Bengal beach resort of Digha is the Shankarpur Fishing Harbour Project. Shankarpur has to its credit all the advantages of Digha, minus the crowd and is being developed as a beach resort. It boasts of a wide and unspoiled beach, caesarian groves by the side of a gentle sea and a good climate round the year. It is also a regular fishing Harbour.
Shankarpur is being developed as a sea resort with hotels, tourist lodges and other facilities.
