Many red crabs are seen popping their heads from their burrows in the beach during low tide. You can visit the Kapalkundala Temple which finds its mention in one of the novels written by the famous Bengali novelist Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay.

Another attraction of Bankiput is the picturesque Deshpran Fishing Harbour at Petuaghat.
