Things to Keep in Mind For A Summer Holiday in Digha Beach

While Digha beach is the favourite tourist spot for people in West Bengal, regardless of the season, here are some things to keep in mind for a summer holiday there. 

Digha - the beautiful, vast, and merry beach town of West Bengal is famous for tourism for two simple reasons. Firstly, it is easily and conveniently accessible from any parts of the state and secondly, it is open for tourism throughout the year. While crowded beaches with lines of stalls are a common sight in Digha beach, there are lots more tourist attractions, like Amarabati Park, Mohona sea beach point, and a science center to visit and enjoy.

Planning a Digha holiday is the best thing ever when you have a short time to plan for your holiday. But, if you are visiting the beach town in summer, plan a little in advance, especially regarding the hotel booking! You need to find the best hotel in Old Digha, which is the quaint part of the town, for a better and comfortable holiday experience. Here are a few things to take into account about your summer holiday in Digha. 

Get a hotel just near the sea

While visiting Digha during summer, it's a must to look for an old Digha hotel near the sea beach for a soothing weather experience. Due to the fundamental reason that water cools down faster than the land, cold wind or breeze from the sea consistently flows towards the beach and its adjacent areas, providing relief from the heat. As you move far away from the sea beach, the wind fades and summer heat can be a cause of discomfort for you. 

Therefore, make sure you first book a great hotel in Old Digha just near the sea beach. 

Look for a hotel with AC in rooms

During summer, temperatures can be as high as 35 degrees in Digha. While you might be okay with it and the cold wind of the beach area, kids and elderly persons need to be at ease to enjoy their holiday.  Thus, make sure that you book the best hotel in Old Digha which has the AC facility in their rooms to provide comfort during afternoons. 

Visit the beach during morning and evening

It’s impossible to miss the beauty and vibe of the sea beach when you are at Digha. While getting out under the scorching sun after 12 pm can be really difficult and can hurt your skin and eyes, choose the best time for beach explorations.

Experience the mesmerizing sunrise in the early morning and complete bathing and every other beach activity within 11 pm or 12 pm. Stay at the hotel, have your lunch, and take some rest and then again set out for evening beach exploration and local shopping after 4 - 5 pm. 

Must use sunscreen and umbrella 

Exposing yourself to direct sunlight will tan your body and make you look exhausted after you return from the holiday! Make sure to carry sunscreen and use it when you are out during the day. If you're travelling with kids, make sure to have an umbrella to make them sit and enjoy themselves comfortably at the beach without getting tanned. 

Keep yourself dehydrated

Well, this needs no mention at all! If you are travelling during the hot summer days, make sure to keep yourself dehydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and insist others in your travel group to do the same. Try to carry fresh fruits or refreshing fruit juices to have them to get the nutrition and energy required for your travelling across the beach town. 

Digha is everyone’s favourite destination for its pleasant ambiance, budget-friendly hotels, good foods, many scenic attractions, and a happy crowd. But, travelling to the beach town during hot summer days can be a little draining for the body because of the heat. However, keep these few simple things in mind, including booking the best hotel in Old Digha with AC facility and nearness to the sea to have the most relaxing summer holiday ever at Digha!
