TAJPUR

        The well-known beaches in East Midnapore district are different from each other. Unlike Digha & Mandarmani Tajpur is characterized by the presence of loose sand & sand dunes.  Almost half the beach consists of loose sand which is windblown &  forms dunes.  Sand dunes are of ecological importance. They prevent soil erosion by reducing the impact of waves. They also check the flooding of inland with sea water during high tide.  Sand dunes are held together by the plants adapted to coastal life. In Tajpur, Keya (Pandanus sp.) performs this duty. Sand dunes with crowns of Keya bushes have made Tajpur unique.


        The place is far from madding crowd. Once you reach there,you will be accompanied only by sand, Keya, sea & sky.  Tajpur leaves you alone with Nature.
