Govind Nagar Beach (Nemo Reef)

A Snorkeler’s Paradise in Havelock

Overview

Govind Nagar Beach, popularly known as Nemo Reef, is one of Havelock’s best-kept secrets and an emerging hotspot for snorkeling and marine exploration. Just a short distance from the Havelock Jetty, this serene beach is home to vibrant coral reefs and friendly clownfish, famously known as Nemo—hence the name Nemo Reef.

With shallow waters, calm tides, and excellent underwater visibility, it is the perfect spot for beginner snorkelers and anyone curious to explore Havelock’s rich marine biodiversity without going too far into the sea. The combination of lush coastal greenery and a thriving underwater world makes Nemo Reef a must-visit destination in the Andamans.

Why Visit Nemo Reef (Govind Nagar Beach)?

Learn the basics of snorkeling

Rich Coral Reefs & Marine Life

The coral reef here is just a few meters from the shoreline. You’ll get to see:

Colorful coral beds
Anemone gardens

Occasionally, even sea turtles and baby rays

Scenic & Peaceful Setting

Nemo Reef is quieter than the more commercial Elephant or Radhanagar beaches. With swaying coconut palms, powdery white sand, and clear blue water, it’s also a great place to simply unwind, sunbathe, or take beachside photos.
