Junput beach is lavishly gifted by the nature and is reckoned as the paradise for beach lovers. The State Government Fisheries Department conducts cultivation of brackish water fishes and also supervises research work which is organised here. Post Indian independence, however, tourism resorts were established at Digha instead of Junput Beach.

In the recent era Junput, with its pristine treasure stands out as the tourist's choice.
