Shaheed Dweep

The waves of the sea collide here on a rocky surface and make a pleasant sound. The water touches feet which is a really exciting experience. Great view of the sea.

You can sit and relax at the beach,enjoy the colours of sunrise and sunset , explore some greenery near the beach or see some beautiful corals. Also you can try some water sports like Snorkeling or Scuba Diving .Local people are very good and friendly. It is really a small island and you can rent a cycle to roam around the whole Island.

Neil Island is best suited for those who want to spend a relaxed time among long deserted beaches. With little bustle, few activities to take up, and few resorts, this island is best for those who want to explore the island’s villages.

Spend quality time at the named after mythological characters from the Ramayana, or indulge in water sports in the crystal clear water – Neil Island is Andaman’s rustic masterpiece.

Neil Island now known as Shaheed Dwip is one of the most famous tourist spot in Andman. Beautiful beaches and luxurious resorts to stay with delicious sea food. The famous spots here are laxman pur beach, natural bridge and Bharatpur beach. One can enjoy beautiful sunset here too. You can approach here by sea route only by ferry boat. Please remember cell phone network is rarely available here.

*Lakshmanpur beach no.2: *

*This place should NOT be open to tourists *

There is a LOT of biodiversity in the corals beneath the water. These corals have thrived here for millennia, but now with the arrivals of tourists, they are being damaged. There are so many species of animals only endemic to the Andamans, which face the risk of extinction because of tourist activities here.
We saw Octopus, starfish, Mudfish, various corals, Crabs, silverfish etc. Their habitat is being destroyed by thousands of tourists walking on the corals during low tide. Majority of whom come only to take pictures of the natural rock formations looking like the bridge, with less regard for the beautiful life thriving beneath their feet.

The guides here are very nice and polite, and there are shops lining the entry to the beach, I would hate to cause them any disadvantage, but tourism is killing the innocent animals and that should be stopped.
