Several young entrepreneurs in North Sonar Para Sea Beach are finding success by hanging hammocks and swings from rows of casuarina trees along the beach. Tourists can rent the facilities for the day at a modest fee, creating both a source of income for local youths and a relaxing attraction for tourists. The colourful swings and hammocks have become a popular stop for travellers, many of whom pause their journeys to rest beneath the shade of the trees while enjoying the coastal scenery. The initiative has added a unique recreational feature to the beach, blending leisure with local entrepreneurship.
