Henry Island Beach
Henry Island Beach in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, is a peaceful and relatively less crowded beach destination near Bakkhali, known for its pristine white sands and tranquil environment. Located approximately 130-140 kilometers from Kolkata, the island is surrounded by mangrove forests similar to those of the Sundarbans and features a unique blend of natural beauty with golden sands, clear waters, and abundant crab populations along the shore.
The beach is accessible via a tiled pathway through the mangroves, leading to a serene sea view perfect for leisurely walks, shell collecting, and bird watching, although swimming is not widely recommended due to quicksands and safety concerns. Visitors can stay in government-run guest houses that offer comfortable accommodation and fresh local seafood.
The area also has attractions like a watchtower for panoramic views and nearby beaches such as Bakkhali and Frasergunj. Despite recent cyclone damage, Henry Island remains a charming eco-tourism spot offering solitude, scenic beauty, and a refreshing escape from city life.
