Seas are best known for whales sharks, cod fishes, to name a few. There are a few beaches in India, where there are concrete structures of these mammals and fishes made up. Children have fun to see these static structures. The jaws of sharks are visible. The sea waters are adjacent to them.

I was not aware of such structures! I did knew that a sculptor makes awesome sculptures out of sand at Puri Beach. So which one is the one that you shared in the picture? And well, this one in the picture is really really awesome!!

You travel a lot. I see you post most of the pictures while exploring new places. I am jealous of you because I rarely get time to visit places.

Is this place in Kolkata?

Hi! Concrete structures on the beaches of India with images of marine animals attract the attention of tourists and locals. They help to study marine life and bring pleasure to lovers of sea adventures and animals.
