This is a White Sand beach, where you can go from Bakkhali. It is mainly area for sight scene at Bakkhali. You can come here by local TOTO or also you can come with your 2 Wheeler or 4 Wheeler. Here is a ticketing system for Entry which costs Rs.10 Per head. Beware of stolen sand also. You can see the proper notice board for your safety. When you enters between mangroves this feels very good. But is closes entry after 4 pm.

The secluded sea beach here will surely mesmerize you. The place is famous for its calm, secluded nature and scenic views. Henry Island is around 6 KM from Bakkhali. Red crabs can be seen on this beach, the beach is not suitable for bathing. Beware of quicksand. It is an ideal destination for nature lovers. If you want to enjoy the secluded nature here, then staying here is the only option for you. For booking room online, visit West Bengal State Fisheries Development Corporation (WBSFDC) website.

It is an amazing Beach at Henry Island, pristine silver sands awaits you, after a brief walk through Mangrove Forest, the walk is comfortable as recently a concrete pathway has been added. It's a very picturesque location, almost out of film location. Most people skip this beach or just give it a cursory look, but a walk on this beach will fill you with amazement. Early in the morning is the best time.
