Elephant Beach

Elephant Beach is another must-visit destination on Havelock Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. During my visit, I also had the opportunity to try my hand at sea walking, which was an incredible and unique experience. It allowed me to walk along the ocean floor while wearing a helmet that supplied me with air, giving me a chance to explore the underwater world up close and personal.

How to reach Elephant Beach:

The beach can be reached by boat or ferry from nearby ports like Port Blair or Havelock Island, Neil Island. It is recommended to check the weather and ferry schedules before planning a visit. 

Here are some of the things you can expect to see and do at Elephant Beach:

• Snorkeling: Elephant Beach is a great place to snorkel and explore the underwater world. You can rent snorkeling gear and see colorful fishes, coral reefs, and other marine creatures. You can also take a glass-bottom boat ride to explore the coral reefs without getting wet.
