 | Beach Holidays
The waters at Digha can be pretty choppy, especially during the rainy season. The sea often looks deceptively calm, and it’s not a very good idea to swim too far out. Swimming after sunset is an absolute no-no as the tide begins to come in. There are no lifeguards other than the purveyors of kiddy floats who might gesticulate and holler at you when you are too far out. At the New Digha Beach, a solitary lathi-wielding policeman patrolled the waterfront while hundreds made merry. Beach etiquette at Digha is pretty much Victorian, especially if you are a woman. Swimsuits are rarely seen but that does not mean you cannot wear one. |
