Snorkeling

Tajpur, Bera Khana, West Bengal

The best time to visit Tajpur Beach is at the onset of the winter season between October and February when the climate is pleasant and the temperature is favorable. The mercury stays between 23 to 12 degrees Celcius. On the other hand, monsoons are heavy; this time is not ideal as the sea tides are high and the weather is humid. Similarly, the summer season is scorching and it is not advisable to visit here during the sultry summers as it might cause heat strokes.
