Overview
Sitapur Beach, often referred to as the Sunrise Beach of Neil Island, is one of the most serene and naturally stunning beaches in the Andaman archipelago. Located at the southeastern tip of Neil Island, it offers unobstructed views of the sunrise, where the first rays of sunlight touch the island, bathing the coast in warm golden hues.
With its soft white sand, rocky outcrops, and lush palm-lined surroundings, Sitapur Beach is less commercialized, making it the perfect escape for those seeking peace, solitude, and raw natural beauty.
Why Visit Sitapur Beach?
Spectacular Sunrise Spot
Sitapur Beach is famous for its breathtaking sunrise views. As dawn breaks, the sky comes alive with shades of orange, pink, and gold, reflecting beautifully over the tranquil waters. It’s a soul-soothing experience for early risers and photographers alike.
Quiet & Unspoiled
Unlike other crowded tourist beaches, Sitapur remains largely untouched and peaceful. It’s an ideal location to disconnect from the world, take a walk along the shore, or simply sit in silence with the sea breeze as your company.
Dramatic Coastal Landscapes
The beach features unique rock formations and cliffs, which add a dramatic flair to the natural surroundings. These formations also make for some striking landscape photos, especially during low tide.
