What makes Havelock Island one of the most beautiful among the Andaman and Nicobar Islands?

               Havelock Island is one of the most pristine and scenic islands of the Andaman and Nicobar group. Its sparkling white sand beaches, transparent sea water, plush greenery, and serene surroundings are tempting and fascinating. It is one of the populated islands in the Andaman group, with an area of 113 sq km. It is located 39 km of north-east of Port Blair. It belongs to the South Andaman administrative district.

               Havelock Island is the largest of the islands that comprise a chain of islands to the east of Great Andaman in the Andaman Islands.

               From scuba diving to parasailing, and elephant rides on the beach to game fishing, the list has it all to cater to all kinds of travellers. Havelock Island offers one of Asia’s best beaches, famous for its swimming elephants and unbeatable reefs. Although there are coral reefs, it’s the marine life here – dolphins, turtles and very large fish – that make it so interesting.

               Radhanagar Beach on the western coast, also known as Number 7 Beach, is one of the most popular beaches on Havelock, and was named “Best Beach in Asia” by Time Magazine in 2004.
