The long, wide beach of Bakkhali stretches from Bakkhali to Frazergunj. The water and the beach appear grey, as the land slopes into the Bay of Bengal, but the land and the water are both clean. The beach is strong enough to bear cycles and cars, but some spots are soft and sinkable. The mangrove forest near the beaches has no tigers, but is nonetheless a tourist spot. The Bakkhali Beach is perhaps the most breathtaking beach. The 7 km coastline is not just the most stunning view of the sea merging into the land, but is also very sparsely populated, which accentuates its beauty. A silent walk on the beach, especially at sunset, is as therapeutic as it is beautiful.

Henry Island is named after a European who surveyed land in the area in the late 19th century. Have a look at the view from the watch tower at Bakkhali and do walk to the beach. The walking trail goes through a stretch of mangrove jungle accessed by crossing a small bamboo bridge. The fisheries department has dug more than 50 ponds occupying over 25 bigha on 100-hectares of land. Trees such as gora, kankru, palm, naturally growing sundari and hetal have been planted.

Jambudwip is the name of an isolated island situated in the Bay of Bengal about 8 km to the southwest of Fraserganj/Bakkhali in the South 24 Parganas district. It remains uninhabited except in the fishing season, i.e. between the months of October and February. In the past, fishermen came from the Chittagong and Noakhali areas of Bangladesh for fishing. They developed special aptitude and traditional skills for marine fishing. The main reasons for using Jambudwip were the island's proximity to the fishing grounds, the presence of a natural creek for safe harbouring of their boats, and supply of drinking water.

A large uninhabited island of 300 sq. km, Gangasagar or Sagar is located, where the River Hooghly meets the sea. To reach Sagar, guests have to drive 20 km back from Bakkhali to Namkhana and then avail the ferry service to cross Muriganga to arrive at Sagar Island's Kachuberia jetty. The Gangasagar Mela that is organised in January on Makar Sankranti is known to attract millions of Hindu pilgrims to this island, to the temple of Kapil Muni and take a dip where the Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal. This island is also a popular bird watching spot due to its agricultural habitat, small river channels and mangrove swamps. The Sagar Island is a famous Hindu Pilgrim place. It is also called Ganga Sagar. Every year on Makar Sankarnti, thousands of pilgrims gather in the Kapil Muni temple. It is known as Ganga Sagar Fair. In 2008, about 500,000 pilgrims took the holy dip where the Hooghly meets the Bay of Bengal on the occasion of Makar Sankrati. Ganga Sagar Fair is the second largest congregation of mankind after the holy Kumbha Mela. The Island is also rich in Mangrove Swamps. This makes Sagar Island all the more distinctive and a favored tourist destination.

Just 2 km north of Bakkhali is the twin town Frazerganj, which is named after Andrew Fraser. Fraser, in early 1900s, tried to build the area into a resort, which he couldn't as the waves frequently washed the constructions. His office ruins can still be seen here. A Wind Energy Farm that generates 1 MW and is soon going to be extended to produce 2 MW is located in Frazerganj.
