Tranquil clean golden shining beach with good resorts and hotels just on the beach. with fishermen village just bit away . One can walk down to the villages at the time of low tide , because during the low tide the water recedes quite far in the sea. During the high tide the waves just lashes on the compound barriers of the hotels and resorts. It is pleasant watching the sea from the lawn of hotel during the high tide and to bathe in the sea during low tides.. As the place becomes crowded during week end it is advised to travel on week days. and enjoy the clean thing beach.

Mostly you will feel that the entire beach belongs to you. At sunrise for the entire 20 km stretch there will be hardly five tourists and similar fishermen.
Un touched beauty miles and miles of it with NO GARBAGE.

Mandarmani beach is very attractive place for nature lover. If you want to enjoy with your family, this is the point which will give you maximum enjoyment. In my view August- September is the best time to come Mandarmani beach and book a beachside hotel which has private access to the beach. Seven km long beach has full of hotels. Every details are not possible here but I have enjoyed 4 days at the beach and can tell you that I never enjoyed other beaches in India as I have visited Puri, Digha, Rushikonda, Marina, Kovalam, Varkala, Alappuzha, Murdeshwar, Agonda etc.

Mandarmani is a beautiful sea side destination in West Bengal. It is a great destination for a weekend trip from Kolkata especially during winter season.It is at a distance of 170 kms approx. from Kolkata. The vast coastline of Mandarmani sea beach is often regarded as the longest drivable beach in India. You can also enjoy some water activities like speed boat and water scooter.The best time to visit Mandarmani is between October and February. We stayed in Belabhumi resort which is a sea facing budget hotel in Mandarmani.Don't forget to visit the Lal Kakra beach where you can see red crabs crawling around the 13 km long beach. Red crabs are a special attraction of Mandarmani.
Also do visit Mandarmani Mohona which is the confluence place of a sea and river.You can also do boating there and visit Tajpur.
I have made a detailed video covering the transport,food,tourist places,budget hotel/resort and budget shopping in mandarmani.The video is
available on my YT channel TravellersLens.

Good place to unwind.
Though it has become very congested, commercial shops and shacks have mushroomed.
One can still find ways to relax.
My favourite is to have coconuts and fish food.
The best part is, one does not need to travel long from Kolkata to reach here

If you’re going with high hopes, you will be disappointed. This isn’t commercialised yet, so there is hardly any decent eatery or place to stay. I suggest reaching in afternoon, basking in the calm of sea waves over the evening, and heading out next morning. Outlets are cheap. There is hardly anything to do at the beach, no water-sport.

Nearest beach from Kolkata. Beach is suitable for driving and one of the longest drivable beach. Fun to drive four wheel mud vehicles, boating also available. Next to a river mouth (where river merges with sea) , possibly that’s because dirt is visible on beach a bit. Lot of crabs are sighted, suitable for crab breeding possibly.

We have visited Mandar mani 4 times in last 4 years.
One of the best beaches near Kolkata, at 4 hrs comfortable drive from kolkata.
A pristine clear white sand beach.
Beach front is approx 7 km long, so one can enjoy a morning beach walk.
Not much of crowd, so everyone has his privacy.
Resorts and hotels are at the beach with a good Seaview available.
So one really enjoys a weekend outing at this place.

Beach far from water. No good road to go around. Resort, I stayed called Candlewood Resort. Luxary room has leaky bathroom, water on the floor everywhere. Terrible service. It was not fixed after we called them twice and did nothing. No sea side room which I asked for . Driver room is far from hotel and they charge INR 1500/night for him.

Mandarmani se New digha kaise jana hota hai or Kitna time taken hota
Written 3 October 2021
It takes another hour of drive.
But once you have visiter Mandarmoni, you will not like to go to New Digha.
Beach at Mandarmoni is more scenic and pristine
Written 30 March 2022
Yes I can & no body is going to stop u , but no body in that beach wears it ,so it looks odd. Shorts & t-shirt r well for the beach there .I can wear bikinis on hotel pools & enjoy as the hotels don't give permission to go in the pool with out a wearing bikinis.

Approx. 171 kms, should take anything between 4-5 hrs. by road depending on the route you take. Else, one can also catch the morning train which takes you to Contai - and then a cab from there to the hotel
