Viewpoint
The northern end of the arc, where people gather as the light goes. The beach faces west, so the sun drops into open water — rare on this side of India.
Experience
A shallow reef a few metres out from the sand, which is why every boat from Havelock comes here. Gear is hired on the beach. Take the first boat, before the water is stirred up.
Attraction
Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)
A long west-facing crescent with nothing built behind it, which is why it photographs the way it does. Lifeguards work set hours and the flags are worth obeying. Sunset is the busy hour.
Attraction
A secluded white-sand bay reached by boat or jungle trek.
Attraction
A naturally formed coral rock arch near the island's shore.
Experience
Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)
