On laid-back Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), Vijaynagar is a calm, shallow beach lined with mahua trees, shallow a long way out, and an easy cycle at sunrise. The best months to visit are roughly November to February, when seas are calm and skies are clear; the monsoon (June to September) brings rough water and many beach shacks shut. Plan water sports and swimming for the dry winter window.

When to go

November to February is the beach season here; the June–September monsoon brings rough seas and most shacks come down.

Why visit

On Neil Island, lined with casuarina and shallow a long way out, which makes it one of the few Andaman beaches that is genuinely easy to swim at. Sitapur for sunrise and Laxmanpur for sunset are both a short cycle away.
