A Weekend Trip to Digha – Bengal’s own Goa

' src=

This Digha travel blog is just an account of our weekend trip to Digha, my first trip with my little one who was just 10-months-old at the time. Huge waves splashing on the rocks and then to your face. The beautiful Sal Forest providing the much-needed respite from the scorching sun in the beach. That’s how I pictured Digha when I heard of it in my childhood days. Located a little over 200 km from Kolkata, Digha is the evergreen tourist hotspot for the city-dwellers. However, I never got the chance to visit Digha till June this year. This was the first trip since October 2020 and with our little one.

A Quick Outline

First impression of Digha

digha weekend trip

Digha is probably the most tourist-dense places I have visited in India, closely followed by Kodaikanal . These are domestic tourists, mainly from the home state West Bengal itself. We went in late June, when we experienced alternate days of unbearable heat and rainfall. Naturally this happens to be the off-season for any tropical beach. But even then, hotels were full, the beaches in vicinity were all too crowded and there was a rush at the famous Amravati Park till the time of closure.

The great thing about Digha is the beautification of some old beaches – the old Digha beach, the Shankarpur beach and some new beaches as well. They are all amazing to visit with the elderly and kids alike because of ample seats to rest in the shade. The Shaal forests are peaceful places to stroll, for those who can’t be in the crowd. If you are going by car, drive to the slightly secluded places like the Tajpur Beach and Talsari beach. Digha is also a fantastic place for shopping, so make sure you have some extra space for bringing back the goodies.

We started late on Friday at around 9 am after getting our 10-month-old ready. The road from Kolkata to Digha is quite a breeze once you get through the initial hurdle of Behala’s traffic. We reached our hotel at 2pm after driving around 185 km. It was a good idea to eat and take some rest while escaping the scorching summer sun of June. 

Our stay in Digha

digha weekend trip

We stayed at Hotel Daltin, which was located close to the Dheusagar Park Beach. While the location was within a walkable radius of the major points of interest like Old Digha Beach, New Digha Beach and Amarabati park, it didn’t have a sea-view.

Because of the huge tourist influx, the price of good hotels is on the higher side. But the entire coastline is lines with hotels and lodges for all pocket-sizes. They are mostly full on the weekends, so advance booking is a must.

Plan ahead so that you can book the government lodge that is located close to the old Digha beach. It is cheap and well-equipped for a decent stay. Although you will not get the luxury of pool and spa, the spacious rooms, and the proximity to the beautiful old Digha beach compensate for it.

Since there is so much to see and do in Digha, I’d rather not splurge on an expensive spa resort. For that you have the nearby beach-town Mandarmoni. Digha is a place for backpackers and thrifty tourists. Here are some other places I recommend.

Evening drive to Talsari Beach, Odisha

digha weekend trip

Well, that sounds strange right? Skip all major tourist spots and drive 10 km to a different state of India? Well, we started off with New Digha – the throbbing, overcrowded beach-cum-market. I don’t mind the crowd when you have a vast sand beach to explore. But New Digha Beach is not a sand beach. It’s a rock beach where the crowds hustle to get photos and see the sunset. It’s really the kind of experience that drives me away. And it did drive me far away to the Talsari Beach in Odisha.

digha weekend trip

It was a lovely experience to escape to this serene beach in rural Odisha. It is popular and hosts many tourists – like a quarter of the tourists in New Digha. But mark me, even that’s not a small number. Lined by the cashew forests, the rugged beauty of the sea will leave you enchanted in the evening.

We had a lot planned for the next day. Starting with old Digha Beach, Amravati Park, Marine Aquarium, and all the way to the distant beaches of Tajpur and Mandarmani. But with elderly parents and an infant, things don’t always go as planned.

Morning walk to Dheusagar Beach-Park

digha weekend trip

Before breakfast we had a brisk walk to the adjacent Dheusagar beach-park. It is a relatively new attraction in Digha. The beautified park amidst the Shaal Forest opens at 9 am. Though we couldn’t enter the park’s premises, we walked through the forests up to the beach.

The early morning views of the beach are spectacular as usual. Even though the sky was overcast, I loved the ambience of the morning.

Drive to Mandarmani

digha weekend trip

Mandarmani is a resort-town near Digha. Most of the beaches are private and owned by the resorts. The one we landed at by following the Google Maps was a secluded beach with not a single tourist. 

Keeping the heavy traffic of old Digha in mind we drove straight to Mandarmani. The experience was quite unique with and refreshing after the overcrowded Digha. But with the strong gush of sand blowing across our face we couldn’t linger there for long.

Tajpur Beach – My favorite

digha weekend trip

Tajpur beach is located midway between Digha and Mandarmani. Not only is this beautiful and secluded, but also beautified by the government of West Bengal. With beach-shacks, cafes and parks, this is the perfect beach for families. There are ample shaded places to sit and enjoy the views on a sunny day or when it rains.

Also this is a sand beach where you can bathe, play and make sand-castles. Another refreshing change from the rock beaches of Digha.

Sunset at Mohana End point

digha weekend trip

After this we came back to the hotel for lunch and rest. We set out once again in the evening and drove past the Old Digha Beach to Mohana end point. Over-tourism ensured that we indeed had to drive to the “END POINT” to find a parking spot for our car. But this place had was quiet and calm- just the way I like it in an evening at the seashore.

digha weekend trip

Since this is on the eastern coast, you can catch the sunset on the opposite side of the sea. I walked up to the watchtower to manage a couple of decent pictures. Wasn’t too good.

Old Digha and Amarabati Park

Old Digha Beach looked beautiful from far away. It’s also well-beautified by the state government and has a throbbing market near it. However, since we didn’t get a parking slot we drove straight to the Amarabati Park. 

Amarabati Park is one of the most popular tourist spots in Digha. It has beautifully curated garden which you can explore through the lovely walkways. There is an artificial lake for boating and a ropeway too.

Day 3 – Homebound

digha weekend trip

On our way back we headed to the Shankarpur beach – a fishing village which has now been beautified similar to the old Digha beach. I must say that this was my second-favorite spot in the Digha trip, besides Tajpur Beach.

Digha Trip -Shankarpur Beach

Well, if you are looking for a perfect Digha itinerary, this is not the one. This was our first trip after a span of 1.5 years, and we enjoyed the short getaway. The news of communal violence erupting in different parts of India did scare us right in the middle of the trip. But thankfully everything went smoothly. 

I’d conclude that Digha is a great place for weekend getaway if you don’t mind the crowd. It’s better to use the local transport options in Digha instead of your own car. That way you not only help the environment, boost the local economy and a responsible traveler by doing so, but it is also convenient. Getting a parking spot at the major tourist spots is not easy.

It will take two days only to explore the Digha town. One would love to spend more time in the areas like Tajpur Beach or Talsari beach, for which you’d need to add a couple more days to your holiday.

Well, that was my travelogue of Digha. Have you been there? Let me know in the comments section and share the article if you liked it. Here’s an image for you to pin.

Nice to read your blog author. Thank you. Keep it up.

digha weekend trip

I had never been to Digha of which I heard so much even from my own relatives. Now the nice article by Sinjana Ghosh took me there as I read it from abroad. I started imagining what else can be added to the list of things to be done to boost the tourists flow and economy there. Here are some suggestions for the government and entrepreneurs.

1. Plant a lot of trees especially near the marshy areas- trees like coconut and palm trees, These will prevent erosion of the soil near the beach area apart from adding to the scenic view. Flower plants will catch the eye of tourists. 2. Restaurants, shops with many varieties, some amusement centers including a big size movie screen displaying current news and history of Digha and future plan of development, big size aquariums, ATM machine etc. will attract tourists. 3. It is necessary to have nice hotels nearby. 4. Well trained coast guards and arrangement for swimsuits/jackets (on payment) can encourage tourists to enjoy well in the water without fear. 5. Thanks to the government for trying to improve road connectivity.

Thanks, Mr. De, for such a thoughtful comment. I agree with you on all these ideas. However, there are already a large number of hotels accommodating many tourists. I believe, coast guards and water activities can increase the earnings for the local population.

“Let us just go to Digha” is all that the travel passionate people care for here. Of course, this applies to the people who are in close proximity to the place unless you really want to discover yourself in a new heaven-like place even if you live far.

Digha Travel Guide

Digha is the perfect destination to enjoy shimmering sunsets and seafood. Some spicy fried prawns along with a chilled beer make for a classic combination by the beach. Furthermore, what makes it even better is the fact that it’s super cheap.

Digha Travel Guide: Best Time to Visit

Being a coastal town, Digha can be extremely humid in the rainy season as well as in summers. So as per the Digha travel guide, the best time to visit it is in the winter or at least nearing the winter months i.e October to February.

Modes of Travel Inter City and Intra City

As per the Digha travel guide, the best mode of travel to Digha is via road. Usually, there are two main connecting roads to the other parts of the state from Digha. One is directly connecting Kolkata, and the other one is actually joined to NH2 near Raniganj via Kharagpur.

If road travel is not what you intend to opt for, then another great alternative is travelling by train. Hats off to the Indian Railways   for connecting us with even the most remote places of the country. It almost seems like it has stitched and kept the country intact.

If this is also not an option for you, then you might consider travelling waterways or maybe even airways. Who knows! Maybe this is the time to finally test your private Chopper. I’m not kidding.

Digha Travel Guide:  Budget Plan for First Time Travelers

This is always the trickiest and most difficult part of the Digha travel guide. Good thing is that Digha is one of the cheapest places in Bengal, so planning a budget for Digha shouldn’t be an issue. You can easily go for a 4 day trip with an expenditure of around Rs.5000 to Rs.8000 per person. The best part is that if you travel in a group, the expenditure becomes almost half of what has been mentioned above.

Breaking Down the Budget for a Nominal Trip

Transportation.

Taking a train from Kolkata to Digha will be in the Price Range of Rs.100 to Rs.1100 per person, depending upon the type of seating you choose. The least priced ticket is for a non-AC second-class seater, and the highest-priced ticket is the AC-Executive Class seater where catering is included, and the first-class service is provided.

You can also opt for bus service from Kolkata to Digha, where the price range of ticket is Rs.125 to Rs.400 per person. The least priced ticket is for Government transportation buses, and the highest priced ticket is by luxury full-AC private semi-sleeper buses.

Of course, there are other places where people can travel to Digha from, but via Kolkata is the most popular route and hence, you should choose this option.

Please make sure that you travel in a way that you directly reach Digha and don’t go to the nearest place first. Else, you’ll waste both money and time.

Digha travel guide

A budget trip can easily be planned to the beach town of Digha. However, this completely depends on your choices. If you’re willing to compromise on some amount of comfort and convenience, a budget-friendly trip to Digha is more than possible.

For a typical 4 night-5 day Digha trip experience, you may look forward to something which will cost you around Rs.3000 and up. This is actually cheap for a beach town. This predictive price is based on lodging for 3 people in a hotel, meaning that it will cost about 1000 INR per person.

Food is very cheap in this town compared to any other beach town in India. You may look forward to spending anything less than   Rs.500 per day per person.

Digha Travel Guide:  Activities and Sight Seeing

  Water sports as a total package will cost you around Rs.1000 per person.

 Renting a two-wheeler will cost you about Rs.100.

Entry to all the parks will cost around Rs.10 to Rs.50 and an additional cost will be the rides in the park which are optional.

Renting an “electric Toto” for a city tour will cost around Rs.500.

Intra-city transport is also available, and you can share a ride in the toto or a “motored 3-wheeler thela” for a price of Rs.10 per person.

Buying souvenirs and other pretty and attractive stuff will vary from person to person, and it cannot be included in this budget, However, do keep some extra money if you are an extensive shopper.

Digha Travel Guide:  Places for Sight Seeing

The marine aquarium by the zoological survey of india.

Well, this is a place where you will find yourself surrounded by the most beautiful creatures of the sea world. Most of you have only seen them either on TV or on the internet, or maybe physical pictures or images and videos. You might not have ever imagined to see them in real life. On average, you will spend around one hour at this place. You’ll surely enjoy. 

Digha travel guide

Chandaneswar Temple

We all know how diverse our culture is, and how religious and spiritual we are. Well, Digha is no different. This place is situated right near the Odisha border, and the interesting part is that you actually have to cross the border in order to visit this temple.

The Science Museum

While most of you might just visit the place for taking a break or doing other activities, the Science Museum is a place worth visiting. This is especially for those who are into science and even people who love acquiring knowledge of various things.

One thing is for sure, I can bet that you will revisit your school days once you enter the museum. Seeing various types of scientific demonstrations, most of which relate to the experiments studied in school was truly nostalgic. The fun part is that you get to participate in those science activities happening around you.

Digha travel guide

Digha Travel Guide for the Two  Parks: Wonderland and Amarabati

Both of these parks are equally beautiful and perfect places for short walks. When you want time to move slowly, the Wonderland and Amaravati parks are an absolute must-visit. While the former is slightly smaller compared to the latter, I promise you, it still is a pure thrill. The enormous amounts of joy that you will receive when you come down riding slides will prove to be fun. Also, you can go boating in lakes, spend some time strolling around a mini zoo or take a ride on a beautiful toy train around the park.

Wild Geese

Digha Travel Guide for  Old Digha and New Digha Beaches: Which One is Better?

Even though both beaches are good, as a traveler, I’d say that Old Digha Beach is better than New Digha Beach. Also, Old Digha Beach is more comfortable when it comes to seating. There are stone seat places across the beach where you can sit and gaze at the sea. The tides in the Bay of Bengal are very rough so while you enjoy yourself, prevent going too far in the sea.

Digha Travel Guide

Make sure that you don’t venture far into the Old or New Digha beaches. They are beautiful, yet dangerous. Even seasoned and experienced swimmers can be swept out. Also, note that the Old Digha beach is more comfortable when it comes to its seating.

Digha Travel Guide for Where and What to Eat at the Beaches ?

If you’re near the sea, you should most certainly feed yourself with fish and crabs. This is what the Digha travel guide suggests as well. Crabs in Digha are one of the best in the state. So, please go for them. Enjoy the freshest of seafood from almost any of the street food stalls or even restaurants.

After this quick snack, if you feel it’s time for dinner/lunch, there is a great restaurant in Old Digha that sells one of the best Biriyanis in the city. My suggestion will be the famous chicken Biriyani.

To make your meal a perfect combo, end your day with the most soothing and refreshing natural drink of all time, the Coconut water or as they say “ daab/narkel er jol. ” 

Digha Travel Guide

When in Digha, make sure you sip on some fresh coconut water. There is nothing as pure as this drink, that comes straight from the coconut trees lining the beaches. A coconut should cost you as little as 30-35 INR. Trust me, it’s totally worth it.

Digha Travel Guide: Safety for Backpackers – Top Tips

The first Digha Travel Guide tip is to not venture deep inside beaches. Not only can you be bitten by sea snakes, but also sink yourself. 

The second Digha Travel Guide tip is to spend more time at Old Digha Beach but to stay near New Digha beach only.

Lastly, beware of pickpockets around the town.

Keep these 3 Digha Travel Guide tips in mind at all times and have a fantastic Digha tour.

Now, stop with the imagination, and start making your next trip to Digha. Frankly speaking, don’t even make a plan. Just start because you already got this, so what’s left to plan?   

Happy Wayfaring 🙂

If you want to leave the cacophony of the city behind, Digha, which is about a 4-hour drive from Kolkata, offers an ideal respite. Well connected by train as well as by bus, you can be at the beach by noon if you set out in the morning. Though Digha is the most popular of beaches, others in the area like Tajpur and Mandarmani are fast gaining tourist attention.

Things To Do in Digha

1. Feast on Fish -  If you have a love for fish, then you are in for a real treat. Dig your toes in the sand and make yourself comfortable at one of the many shacks on the beach. Choose from an assortment of seafood including prawns, crab and pomfret. A delicious meal of rice and fish curry costs around Rs.50.

2. Go Horse Riding Along the Beach - Live out your Bollywood or Hollywood aspirations by galloping by the sea on horseback. It definitely has a charm of its own. Bargain hard for a good rate from vendors, which should be around Rs. 200 for an hour.

What is the best time to visit Digha?

Digha, a perfect weekend getaway for all those who live in West Bengal is the most enticing during winters. October to February is the best time to hit the beaches at Digha. Apart from beaches, there are aquariums and gardens to cover, for which the most comfortable time is during these months. Winter is also the time for the biggest celebration in the whole of Bengal- Durga Puja. Summers in Digha are hot and uncomfortable with temperatures rising up to 37 degrees celcius. This isn't an ideal time to visit the palce. Whereas in July the monsoon rains might wash away your plans to enjoy both beaches and amusement parks.The level of humidity is higher making it less pleasant to travel.

  • Trip to Digha

We had gone on a 3 day trip to Digha beach in December. Digha is the most popular sea beach and tourist spot in West Bengal. It is known as “Brighton of the East”.

9th Dec 2010: It had got dark by the time we reached Digha station; all because we had missed the first train, took the next train to Digha and got delayed by three hours. Digha station looked quite new and clean. I guess to promote tourism, WBTDC has spruced up the place. Also there are 4-5 trains from Kolkata to Digha!

digha weekend trip

Nice carriage like rickshaws are available outside; something which I haven’t seen anywhere in Kolkata. Digha is divided into two areas – Old Digha and New Digha. We decided to stay at New Digha. There are many hotels,lodges and restaurants in Digha. We stayed at Hotel Sea Bird. Rates in Digha vary seasonally. Hotel Sea Bird is a good hotel located near the beach, with okay rates and an in-house restaurant on the ground floor with good service and tasty food.

digha weekend trip

10th Dec 2010: Woke up to overcast skies and lovely cool weather. Had breakfast and went out to beach with our cameras. Had fun roaming and photographing around the beach and the sea.

digha weekend trip

One strange thing about Digha is, unlike any coastal area, the vegetation doesn’t consist of coconut trees. There are sort of pine trees along the beach! There are hardly any coconut trees in the area!

digha weekend trip

After lunch and a little afternoon shut-eye, we decided to go sightseeing around Digha. Our first destination was the Science Center established by the National Council of Science Museums at New Digha. The Centre offers a variety of mechanisms to make science an enjoyable learning experience. There is a biology section with few animals, a physics section, a planetarium which holds evening shows and a park. Had fun time exploring all the mechanisms.

digha weekend trip

At Udaypur beach bikes are available for rent to go roaming around the beach and to Talsari beach at low tide. It had got dark by the time we left the beach to go to Old Digha. Old Digha is a bustling part of the town. It would be cheaper to stay at the hotels there but there would be no peace. There is a much bigger and cheaper market at Old Digha. Also ATMs are located at Old Digha only. We made our way to the beach. As expected it was very crowded, especially because the tide was high and only few people had ventured into the water. Spent the rest of the evening sitting on the stone tables there, sipping hot tea and chatting. Then we went back to New Digha. Did some window shopping, had dinner at the hotel restaurant and retired to our rooms.

11th Dec 2010: We were due to checkout in the afternoon. So all of us went souvenir shopping at the market after breakfast at an outlet at the market. Do not try Aaloo Paratha at Digha!! Curios made of sea-shell, shell jewellery, moderate varieties of reputed Madur of Midnapore (hand-woven mat made of weeds) in colourful designs, cottage crafts of Digha and Midnapur are available. Rates are not that high and good bargaining skills can get you lesser rates.

This is the best curio shop of the market at New Digha

After spending some time on the beach and drinking coconut water, we came back to our hotel. Picked up our luggage and left for the station. Hope to visit Digha again with more time on my hands and to visit places like Shankarpur, Mandarmoni, Junput etc too.

Long time Reema. The half day Kolakta tour happened in Jan and we have been waiting all through for you to take us to Digha.

Hope things are going great for you and you are getting a big dose of travel.

I would say Bongs would have evaporated out of this world had there not been two words in their tourism lexicon – DIGHA and PURI.

Real nice description of Digha – nice pics – expression of the guy at Renuka Kutir is real cute.

Pine trees – that is a real curious happening, which I also saw in Mandarmoni.

Thanks for the post. Auro.

Hello Reema, Thanks for taking us to Digha.

The post provides some really useful information. Example, the caution about Aaloo Parathas and rickshaw-wallahs.

Believe me, the beaches in India are a lot more serene and pleasant than some of the beaches in Western world. Wild and chilly winds make visits to the beach impossible on most days in West.

' src=

this is an excellently written travel log. congrats!

however, i have one thing to point out. you have written” The tide gets high at night so there are stone embankments to prevent the water from flooding the town.”

this is not correct scientifically. tide timings vary by 52 minutes everyday as the principal tide depends upon the moon.

hope you take this in the right spirit and make the correction.

i end by repeating that its a very well written article. thanks and best wishes.

36 Hours in Cape Town

John Eligon is the Johannesburg bureau chief for The New York Times.

As far as beauty goes, Cape Town is nothing short of spectacular: a city built on the Atlantic Ocean, around a mountain, allowing for stunning views in every direction. The elephant in the room, though, is the harsh legacy of apartheid, when South Africa’s white-minority government pushed the Black majority to the fringes of the city. Areas where most visitors tend to go still have a largely white population. To this day, navigating Cape Town as a person of color can bring uncomfortable moments. But South Africa celebrates 30 years of democracy this year and has, for all of its challenges, tried to embrace the mantra of the “rainbow nation” — a place of racial and ethnic diversity. In that spirit, Cape Town is shedding its Eurocentric identity and emerging as a culturally rich African hub.

Recommendations

  • Chapman’s Peak Drive , one of the world’s most beautiful drives, is a 5.5-mile sojourn along a rocky coastline set against the turquoise ocean and mountain views.
  • See Langa , one of South Africa’s oldest townships, with a walking tour led by the artist and guide Tozamile Mnapu .
  • The African Food and Storytelling Tour , led by the food writer and activist Dennis Molewa, gets you away from the chichi European restaurants and takes you to casual African eateries that will leave your belly full and spices lingering on your tongue.
  • Selective Live provides an intimate setting, with a mountain view, to watch music performances from an array of genres that include Afro jazz, African folk and hip-hop.
  • Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa is the largest contemporary African art museum on the continent, with exhibits spread across a modern building that was once a grain silo.
  • Imiso Ceramics has both a small studio and gallery that features large-scale sculptures by its founders, who find inspiration in their Xhosa heritage.
  • The Castle of Good Hope is South Africa’s oldest colonial building, a former fort that now houses nine mini-museums that tell a story of the country’s diversity.
  • Earthbox is a unique art exhibit that takes you beneath the earth for relaxation and reflection.
  • Bailey’s Kloof is a hiking trail that will test your fitness at first, but is worth the coastal views.
  • Theater Arts stages plays in an old Methodist church that showcase a range of experiences and backgrounds in South Africa.
  • Time Out Market , an upmarket food hall, captures the diverse range of South African foods, from a chef’s take on a traditional barbecue at Mlilo , to Cape Malay cooking with a modern twist at Barakat .
  • Therapy , a restaurant run by a pair of D.J.s from the vibrant Black township of Khayelitsha, offers comfort food and a hip vibe.
  • Hari Kitchen , set on a vineyard in the town of Franschhoek with mountain views, serves what its self-taught chef and owner calls Afro-fusion cuisine.
  • At Klein Goederust , the first fully Black-owned winery in the Franschhoek Valley, you can pair your wine tasting with a hearty Cape Malay buffet featuring spit-roasted lamb.
  • Reuben’s Restaurant and Bar in Franschhoek offers creative plates inspired by family traditions.
  • The Silo Hotel is perched above the Zeitz Museum, with “pillowed-glass” windows (many triangular panels of glass create a three-dimensional bubble effect), art on the walls and contemporary rooms with traditional décor, like couches with scrolled armrests and studs. Rooms start at 30,100 rand, or $1,589, per night during peak season.
  • Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel sits on one of Cape Town’s most historic sites — Church Square, one of the first public plazas in the city, which used to serve as a slave market. It has seven modern suites starting at 13,000 rand per night.
  • Kaap Mooi Luxury Guest House is tucked away amid gardens, making you feel as if you’re in an oasis away from the city, even though it is near downtown in the Tamboerskloof neighborhood. There are eight rooms with various South African themes starting at 2,200 rand per night.
  • For short-term rentals , there are lots of apartments in the city center, around Bree Street, close to bars, restaurants and street shopping. If you want to be close to the ocean and the city center, try the Sea Point neighborhood, which has a lovely promenade for a run or a stroll. If you want to tuck in near the beach and stay along the stunning coastline, you can book anywhere between Clifton and Camps Bay, though you will pay a premium.
  • It’s easiest to use a car in Cape Town. Taking Uber won’t break the bank, though it will cost you a little more to go out to wine country, about 45 minutes outside the city center. Bolt is another ride-hailing app that is widely used and reliable.

A mural by Tozamile Mnapu in Langa

The apartheid government prohibited Black and colored (a multiracial ethnic classification) South Africans from living in cities, instead forcing them to live in established townships in the least desirable areas. But township residents often turned their communities into areas of vibrant resistance and robust arts and culture. Langa, about 30 minutes outside central Cape Town, is one of the nation’s oldest townships. Tozamile Mnapu , a local painter, offers three-hour tours into the community (450 rand, or $24, per person). Starting from iKhaya le Langa , a community center where he also hosts art workshops, Mr. Mnapu takes visitors past street graffiti to a small art gallery above a narrow home, and another one near a gritty town center with a large monument to the resistance that residents put up against the apartheid police.

digha weekend trip

Time Out Market , the chain of upmarket food halls in several major world cities, opened its first location in Africa last year in an airy, industrial space on the main waterfront promenade. Stop by Mlilo to try the chef Vusi Ndlovu’ s global twists on a traditional “shisanyama,” or South African barbecue. Order the Senegalese lamb (180 rand) or grilled hake with Ghanaian dressing (250 rand). Just across the hall, at Barakat , the wife-and-husband team of Yolani Abrahams and Anwar Abdullatief offers takes on Cape Malay cooking, a cuisine born in the kitchens of Southeast Asians often enslaved by South Africa’s colonizers. You can’t go wrong with the pan-fried kingklip fish (195 rand) or bobotie, a casserole of sweet, curried minced beef topped with egg custard (80 rand). Have a koesister (10 rand), like a doughnut ball, for dessert.

A band performs in a small carpeted area of a room that is lit with a pink hue. The performers play the saxophone, guitar, keyboard and drums.

Selective Live

You can stick around at Time Out Market (cocktail specials begin at 4 p.m.), where you can dance to tunes spun by a D.J. until 10 p.m. Or catch a short Uber ride to Selective Live , an intimate performance space and recording studio in the Gardens neighborhood near the city center. Some nights the live music could be African folk, others it could be hip-hop, and still others it could be Afro jazz. Settle into this second-floor space that feels more like someone’s living room — rather than on a stage, artists perform in a nook with a fireplace and a bookshelf. Then step out onto the balcony for fresh air and — what else? — a picturesque mountain view. Tickets start at 60 rand.

The powerful southeasterly winds make Dolphin Beach, in the Blouberg area, one of the world’s most legendary kite-surfing spots.

A view looking up at a mountain peak on a clear blue day. A signpost reads "Bailey's Kloof."

Trails are aplenty in this mountainous city. The most famous peaks are Table Mountain and Lion’s Head, and indeed trekking up them can provide plenty of exercise and adventure. But to avoid the crowds and get uninterrupted coastal views try Bailey’s Kloof , another scenic trail that starts along the coast about 30 minutes outside downtown. The first half hour or so is steep and moderately intense. But once you make it past that, it’s a delightful roughly two-hour loop through thick vegetation, including colorful irises, mimetes and cape snow flowers. There are detours for a pond, a cave and a rock formation. Stop and take in the delicious ocean views. Before you go, download an offline version of the area in Google Maps (in case cell service is unavailable) to help you navigate as parts of the trail are not well marked.

Cape Town hosts several art fairs annually, but even if you can’t make it to one , there are lots of opportunities to see great art. One obvious stop is the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (entry, 250 rand), the largest contemporary African art museum on the continent. Housed in a former grain silo on the waterfront, Zeitz includes an exhibition that offers commentary on African liberation movements and their connection to the Palestinian struggle, as well as photography and film works that explore connections to the spiritual world. For something more intimate, head to the Salt River neighborhood and visit Imiso Ceramics , a studio and gallery that features large-scale sculptures by the founders Zizipho Poswa and Andile Dyalvane. Their works are inspired by their Xhosa heritage, which they share with arguably South Africa’s most famous person, Nelson Mandela.

Three people sit on couches facing a low table. On the table is a shallow basket holding curries and rolled injera bread.

Cape Town’s dining scene may best be known for high-end restaurants. But there are also plenty of casual eateries serving classical African dishes. Dennis Molewa , who is from Germany but has lived in South Africa for 15 years, offers three-hour-long African food tours (starting at about 1,400 rand per person) through downtown that include interesting stories about the city’s history and culture. He takes you to a Somali restaurant for chapati, spaghetti and beef stew, but also a blunt conversation about anti-immigrant sentiment in South Africa. At Nobantu Restaurant you’ll enjoy a traditional hearty Xhosa Sunday lunch, or what locals call a seven-colors meal (named for the array of colors on the plate). You’ll also meet flower vendors descended from enslaved Cape Malay people, sip tea in a Methodist church and indulge in stewed meats at Fatima’s , a pan-African restaurant owned by a couple from Mali.

A blue car — blurred in the photograph — makes its way along a road that curves on a cliff. The ocean is visible beyond the road.

Chapman’s Peak Drive runs five and a half miles along the winding Atlantic seaboard from Hout Bay to Noordhoek, and it is often heralded as one of the most beautiful drives on the planet. That’s hard to dispute. It’s a mix of rocky coastline and green water as far as the eyes can see. Get entranced by the ocean and mountain backdrops, but be careful not to get blown away by the stiff winds when you step out to take pictures at one of the many viewpoints. At the end of the route, stop at Noordhoek beach and take a walk. It is a vast, flat plain of sand, and almost feels as if you’re in a desert on the ocean. (Note that the road has tolls, starting at 61 rand.)

Kloof Street was once a dirt road leading from the city center to outlying farms. Today, it’s an eclectic and busy mix of clothing boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and nightlife. For dinner and drinks, you can’t go wrong with Therapy , a sophisticated space that opened last year with sleek, plush banquettes and marble tabletops. It was founded by two D.J.s, Loyiso Mdebuka and Vincent Mvelase Manzini , who are from Cape Town and were raised in the Black township of Khayelitsha. As young Black creatives, they wanted to create a hip vibe and a therapeutic experience, challenging what they saw as an African taboo against therapy. The menu delivers a range of transformed comfort food, like lamb ribs with couscous salad and harissa mayo. Three courses without drinks, about 550 rand per person.

A person dances on a stage that is illuminated with a dim, blue light.

Housed in an old Methodist church a short drive from downtown, Theater Arts is an intimate venue to see a play. Shows tackle a variety of themes, from South Africa’s regular, frustrating power outages to the efforts of young people trying to achieve success, told through a comical tale of life in Lagos, Nigeria. Built on what it says are “the tenets of affordability, inclusivity and accessibility,” the theater company provides space for emerging artists from various cultural, social, economic and skill backgrounds to develop their craft onstage. Tickets start at 150 rand.

Waves crash against rocks on a beach. On the far shore, there are buildings and a mountainous landscape behind.

The Twelve Apostles mountain range, visible from Camps Bay, forms the back of Table Mountain.

The Castle of Good Hope was built as a fort starting in 1666 by the colonists of the Dutch East India Company. It now stands as the oldest colonial building in South Africa. It served many purposes over the years, including a military base, a slave port and a government headquarters. Today, the castle houses nine mini-museums that tell the story of the diverse people who shaped the Cape and the nation. The Cape Heritage Museum was created by Igshaan Higgins, a human rights lawyer, during the pandemic. With artifacts that Mr. Higgins assembled over 25 years, the museum tells the stories of settler colonialism and the various groups who struggled through that oppression, including the Indigenous Khoi and San people, the Cape Muslims and the Xhosas. The castle also houses the William Fehr Collection, an assemblage of oil paintings and decorative art created by settlers that reflects on themes including slavery and the wars of dispossession.

Tune out the noise with a subterranean journey. At Earthbox , which opened last year as an immersive art exhibit on the Lourensford Wine Estate in the suburb of Somerset West, visitors walk into a bunker of sorts carved into the ground. The high walls of dirt, changing mood lighting and lulling soundtrack provide a perfect opportunity to relax, meditate or just let your mind go. Tickets range from 170 rand to 250 rand. For an additional 50 rand, you can purchase an audio guide — there’s one for meditation, and another that teaches about the ancient rocks and sediment surrounding you. Earthbox hosts regular music concerts and private dinners with local high-end chefs. After your visit, you can roam the wine estate, which includes restaurants, a wine tasting room and a market with live music, food stalls, and arts and crafts vendors.

Reuben’s Restaurant and Bar

Lose yourself in the serenity of wine country at Hari Kitchen , on the Topiary Wine Estate, with one of the best meals in the Franschhoek Valley. The chef and owner Munashe Kwaramba did not attend culinary school, but learned his style of Afro-fusion cooking by observing high-end chefs and by cooking with his grandmother in Zimbabwe. Another option just down the road is Klein Goederust , the first fully Black-owned winery in Franschhoek. On weekends, you can pair a wine tasting with a Cape Malay buffet (495 rand per person) where spit-roasted lamb is a highlight. Or on Franschhoek’s quaint main street, pop into Reuben’s Restaurant and Bar , where the chef and owner Reuben Riffel serves refined dishes like dukkah-spiced lamb and pickled fish inspired by the culinary traditions of colored families like his own.

Princess Kate seen out on weekend shopping trip

Following days of rampant speculation online after the royal family shared an altered family photo , Catherine, the Princess of Wales, was reportedly seen shopping over the weekend — an outing that was captured on video.

Until now, Kate hadn't been seen publicly since Kensington Palace announced in January that she'd had planned abdominal surgery. She was seen shopping Saturday not far from her home in Windsor, according to The Sun and TMZ, which published images o f the outing.

Catherine, Princess of Wales

Kensington Palace declined to comment, and a phone call to the Royal Farms Windsor Farm Shop seeking confirmation of the royal couple’s outing there wasn't answered late Monday.

Questions have been swirling around the princess, one of the British royal family's highest-profile members, since the January statement about her health, which didn't elaborate on the reasons for the procedure and added that she would be "unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."

The noise grew louder this month after a photo of Kate and her three children that had been manipulated was shared on the royal family's social media accounts. Global news organizations issued a "kill notice" for the doctored image.

On March 11, the princess appeared to take responsibility for altering the photo.

“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” read a message on the  official X account  of the Prince and Princess of Wales. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”

The publication Monday of the reported weekend shopping trip may quell some of the concern. "It's 100% her," TMZ reported .
