Bakkhali is seaside resort in South 24 Parganas, Sunderban, district of West Bengal, India. It is located on one of the many deltaic islands spread across southern Bengal. Most of the islands are part of the Sunderbans, barring a few at the fringes. Some of these are joined together with bridges over narrow creeks. This small island juts out into the vast expanse of the Bay of Bengal. It has a 7 km long beach stretching from Bakkhali to Frasergunj, a 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. It is a hard beach suitable for cycling or even driving. One can take long walks. Bakkahali is situated at a distance of 125 km from Kolkata. Famous for its beach and natural beauty, Bakkahali is well connected to Kolkata by road and rail.
