Capital of the Andaman Nicobar Islands, Port Blair is also the port of entry to these islands. It is the hub around which activities in this archipelago revolve. The Marine National Park, its diverse museums, the historic Cellular Jail and the water sports complex make it the pivotal place to kick start a quintessential Andaman experience.
Port Blair offers some rather offbeat options for travelers to pursue as well. From snorkeling and forest trekking (to nearby peaks like Mount Harriet) to strolling on a beach and island hopping, travelers have an entire gamut of activities to pursue here.
A visit to the picture-postcard Corbyns Cove Beach is highly recommended. Tall swaying coconut trees, white sand and the emerald sea welcome you here.
About 38 kilometers northeast of Port Blair, Havelock Island is a hidden jewel. Few Indians know of this stunning beach destination in their own backyard while heading for Phuket (in Thailand) across the waters of Andaman Sea. Beaches No. 5 and No. 7 are simply breathtaking. Small wonder, Time magazine in 2004 rated the islands Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7) as the finest in Asia. With lush tropical forest on one side, the draw of this white sand beach has steadily grown in the legion of avid beach buffs.
Havelock is a serene tropical island encompassing about 86 square kilometers. Its clear waters are rated among the best in the world for snorkeling and scuba diving. Close to 1000 different species of marine life inhabit the waters of the Andaman Islands. Scuba divers can see nudibranchs, sea slugs and snails, varieties of ghost pipefish, jawfish and a number of different crustaceans of all shapes and sizes. One of the prime attractions is the graceful manta ray. Dolphins, turtles, giant grouper and napoleon wrasse are other sea creatures one can see.
White sand beaches, 40 meters visibility underwater, colorful coral reefs and its ‘far from the madding crowd’ appeal have made Havelock Island a dream destination among discerning travelers.
