Elephant Beach

Elephant Beach is one of the most thrilling and scenic beaches in the Andaman Islands, located on the north-western coast of Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep). Known for its vibrant coral reefs, crystal-clear blue waters, and a wide range of water sports, it’s the ultimate destination for those looking to combine natural beauty with adventure.

Despite its name, you won’t find elephants here anymore but what you will discover is a vibrant underwater world, powder-soft sands, and a beach that truly caters to both adventure lovers and serenity seekers.

A Snorkeling Haven

The highlight of Elephant Beach is its shallow coral reef, just a few meters from the shore. The corals here are colorful and thriving, and the clear waters make it an ideal spot for:

• Snorkeling
• Glass-bottom boat rides
• Underwater sea walking

Even beginners can enjoy the underwater beauty with expert guides ensuring a safe and memorable experience.

Adventure-Packed Experience

Elephant Beach is a hub of water sports, making it perfect for thrill-seekers. You can try:

• Jet skiing
• Banana boat rides
• Speed boating
• Kayaking
• Parasailing (seasonal)

These activities are regulated and carried out with all safety measures in place.

Beautiful & Unspoiled Shoreline

Even if you’re not into adventure sports, Elephant Beach offers a serene setting for simply relaxing, sunbathing, or enjoying the calm ocean breeze. The lush green backdrop, clear blue sky, and gentle waves create a perfect postcard-like atmosphere.
