Elephant Beach

Awesome beach, crystal clear water with a great view. There are 2 ways to reach Elephant Beach, trekking 1.8 km or take a boat ride which will take 20 to 30 minutes. Too many activities in the beach makes it crowded but that’s concentrated in a 100m area. Beyond that it’s almost empty and you can venture out. Snorkelling is must here, provides great view of coral and sea life. Did parasailing as well but it’s just 2 min duration, not worth the price!!

Fantastic place, but here's a suggestion if you're good at swimming you will end up saving around Rs 6000/-. They offer a lot of underwater activities for visual experiences such as (coral life and colourful fishes) which will cost you if combined around 6000/- or more.
Would suggest you to get the underwater goggles 🥽 with snorkel 🤿 to enjoy the things for free.

Small but beautiful beach.
But there are some caveats with respect to visiting the beach. It's accessible only via a boat, which charges 250 rs per head for the to and fro visit. You get 3 hours at the beach plus 30 mins one way to and fro the beach each way. So total 4 hours. There are numerous water activities there, they seemed expensive to me. There's a snorkelling activity complementary to the boat ticket but they just show the sand in the shallow water. We tried the 300 rs full mask snorkeling for 10 mins which takes you out to the corals and you see the fishes too. Worth it for me, any other water activities didn't seem worth it to me. But the problem is you can't leave until the other people you are traveling with in the boat are done with their activities, so in our case we were at the beach for 3.5 hours. It gets boring if you do not do water activities. There are snacks etc available on the beach. Also during peak season (October to March) this beach is very crowded.

Elephant Beach is a hidden gem, offering a serene and unspoiled coastal experience. The pristine white sands, crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery create a picturesque setting. It's a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility. Limited facilities, but the natural beauty more than compensates.

One of the most popular beaches in Andaman is elephant beach. There are two ways to reach there. One way is to reach there by the jetty which is on the way to Radhanagar Beach and takes 15 minutes to reach there and the other way is the walking path through the jangle. The walking path takes 30 to 40 minutes to reach there and it is better to have a guide for the walk or you can say for the jungle trekking. The beach is beautiful but it was crowded. This beach is popular for water activities and different kinds of water ridings. At Havelock this beach is the best for water sports because of the scenario, clear water. There are food stalls of fresh fruits, papdi chaat etc. We tried both but the papdi chaat was extraordinary. There are also wooden seating spaces from where you can enjoy the beautiful view of the beach and can enjoy watching the water activities. Changing rooms with showers are also available which is very plentiful after and before the water sports and also the paid locker rooms are available there. You can also explore the nearby mangrove forest. So this is a must go place to visit and experience water activities.

Hidden beach in Havelock. You can reach there either by ferry which costs 1k per person and other option is to trek for 1 hour and reach elephant beach, suggest to take a guide and go for trek, it’s a wonderful experience. Lot of water rides to enjoy

Scuba diving and sea walking can’t be missed. Best place for these activities as the fauna are untouched you will experience the best sight of nature.

Elephant Beach is a popular destination located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. It's known for its stunning white sandy beach, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life. The beach offers various water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, and swimming, allowing visitors to explore the vibrant coral reefs and underwater world. The name "Elephant Beach" comes from a rock formation that supposedly resembles an elephant. It's a serene spot for relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty of the Andaman Islands.
This beach can be accessed by boat or by trek through protected forests and mangroves.
I have chosen trekking as I have never done that before.This was a great trekking experience. It is of 2 km trek but takes time to reach.
If you are alone or with friends, i recommend you to choose a trek as it's a great adventure. Initial few minutes it will be normal trekking then it will be very slippery then trekking in water. I just loved it. However don't choose this if you have small kids or elderly people.

Beautiful white sand.. crystal clear water ... Cleanest beach.. beauty that I'd never seen before... Highly recommended 🔥💯🌴🌴🌴🌴❤❤❤❤

It's a great, popular and thus crowded beach. There are lots of water sports activities like para sailing, sea walk, snorkeling, jet skiing and water rides. My personal favourite was para sailing and snorkeling, they were great experiences. The beautiful corals and colourful water life that you get to see under water during snorkeling is amazing. Para sailing provides you with a birds eye view of the islands underneath the gigantic sky and a deep blue calming Ocean down. There are lockers available for personal belongings. Better take some eatables with you as the food there is too costly. The prices of rides and other activities should have been little less, but a great experience overall.

Another wonderful beach in Havelock, this one just doesn't get as much recognition as the Radhanagar Beach!

One can reach this beach by boat or by a trek through the reserved forests and the mangroves. We went by a bus (there are air-conditioned buses but the frequency is low) in the morning at around 8 AM which is a great time to go as it is high tide around this time. It is also less crowded if you go as early as 8 AM.

Our guide then took us through the reserved forests and the mangrove trees! This was a nice trekking experience and I have never gone on trekking before. During the trek, we also found several cashew trees, redwood trees, etc.

Note: One can reach the beach without a guide as well but you will have to figure out the path by yourself. Guides would be charging you 500₹ by the way.

The beach is known for water sports such as snorkeling, sea walk, various boat rides, etc. There are some nice coral reefs and several fishes to look at while snorkeling!
Although swimming in the beach isn't done due to the presence of water sports, I bet it would have been excellent for that as well due to the clear, turquoise waters and white sand!

A beach that you just can't miss when you are on Havelock!

Very popular beach in Havelocks. Lots of water activities scuba diving.

Elephant beach is a very popular beach for water activities. The variety of water rides available was amazing.

You need to go back by the same boat to Havelock. The island closes by 3pm.

Elephant beach is a well known spot for watersports in Havelock, scenic with trees and white sand. Calm shallow waters make it perfect for snorkelling, the reef is mostly made up of coral and plenty of marine life.
Just 25 mins by boat from the jetty or an hour's trek through a dense jungle. Lots of options like jet skiing, banana boating, sea walk etc. Locker facilities are available on a paid basis. Many food stalls as well.

We went there on a rainy day but overall had a good experience. Good spot to also relax even though there is more crowd compared to the other beaches.

Awesome beach in Havelock. 20 min ride by speedboat.
