A Journey of Relaxation!!

Kuakata, In 2024

I had the opportunity to visit Kuakata Sea Beach many times - Alhamdulillah, and it felt nothing short of magical. Kuakata, often called the "Daughter of the Sea," is one of the rare places in the world where you can watch both the sunrise and sunset over the horizon of the sea. Standing there, I felt as if the ocean was whispering its eternal secrets in the language of waves.

The first morning, I woke up early, long before the sun rose. The beach was quiet, except for the soothing sound of the waves crashing endlessly. Slowly, the sky began to change color—from dark blue to shades of pink, orange, and finally golden. Watching the sun rise out of the sea, painting everything in light, I felt a deep calmness inside me. It was one of those moments when time seems to pause, and you simply breathe, grateful to be alive.

Later that day, I walked along the beach with my friends. The sand stretched endlessly, soft under our feet, and the salty wind played with our hair. Local fishermen were returning with their morning catch, their nets filled with fresh fish. They smiled warmly at us, their sun-burned faces full of stories of the sea. Some even invited us to see their boats, proudly showing the nets and the fish they had caught.

While walking along the sand, I noticed something really interesting — hundreds of tiny red crabs, called "Lal Kakra", were moving across the beach. They were so small and fast! Every time I got closer, they disappeared into their little holes in the sand. It was amazing to see them all together, like the beach was alive. I just stood there watching them, feeling really lucky to see something so simple but so special.

Kuakata's seafood is something I'll never forget. Fresh crabs, prawns, and fish cooked with local spices tasted heavenly after a long walk on the beach. Each meal felt like a celebration of the ocean itself. Sitting at a small local stall, eating with my friends while the waves roared in the background, I realized how food and place together can create memories that last forever.

One of the most exciting parts of the tour was horse riding by the sea. As the sun started to set, I got on a horse and rode along the wide stretch of sand. The cool breeze brushed against my face, the horse's hooves splashed against the shallow water, and the golden sky melted into the sea. For those few minutes, I felt free—like a child again, living only in the moment.

The sunset at Kuakata was even more breathtaking than the sunrise. The whole sky turned red and orange, and the waves reflected that fiery glow. Standing there, watching the sun slowly disappear into the ocean, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. It was as if the sea itself was taking away every worry, every hidden pain, and leaving me with nothing but gratitude.

Kuakata wasn't just a trip. It was an experience of beauty, culture, and healing. The kindness of the local people, the taste of fresh seafood, the thrill of horse riding, and the endless sea—everything came together to remind me that life still holds so much joy to discover.
