Here you can relax under coconut palms, swim in clear seas, and discover simple joys of island life. Let’s take a gentle walk through its best spots and see why Aqua Echo Tours loves Havelock!
Havelock (now called Swaraj Dweep) is a small island reached by ferry or boat from Port Blair. It feels like you’ve stepped into a picture—wide beaches, swaying palms, and friendly smiles everywhere. You’ll notice:
Quiet roads lined with hibiscus and bougainvillea, perfect for a slow bike ride
This island isn’t just about the beaches—it’s a peaceful break from the busy world.
Often called “Beach No. 7,” Radhanagar is the island’s crown jewel. You’ll love:
Sunsets that paint the sky in pink, orange, and gold
Here, you can sit under a tree with a cold drink or take a slow dip in the sea. It’s easy to see why this beach was named one of Asia’s best.
Elephant Beach is a hidden gem reached by boat or a short jungle trek. It’s perfect for:
Relaxing on the shore under the shade of casuarina trees

Kalapathar means “black rock,” and you’ll see smooth, dark boulders scattered along the shore. This quiet beach offers:
A simple spot for picnics or reading your favorite book
Because fewer people come here, it feels like your very own secret beach hideaway.
Beyond these beaches, Havelock is a top spot for sea fun. You can try:
Sea walking—walking on the sea floor with a special helmet, breathing normally as fish swim past
All gear and guides are ready to help even first-timers feel safe and excited.
For a change of pace, paddle through the island’s mangrove creeks. You’ll see:
