Neil Island, now called Shaheed Dweep, is a peaceful island where nature feels untouched and life moves slowly. With soft beaches, clear waters, and beautiful natural spots, it’s perfect for those who love quiet beauty. Let’s explore each place in simple words and see why Aqua Echo Tours loves Neil Island!
Neil Island is smaller than Havelock and much quieter. It’s just a short ferry ride away from Port Blair, and as soon as you arrive, you’ll feel the fresh sea breeze and the soft sunshine all around you.
The island is full of:
Long, clean beaches with crystal-clear water perfect for swimming or just dipping your feet in.
Unlike busy places, Neil Island moves at its own gentle pace. It’s a wonderful place to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel connected to the sea, sky, and earth.
Laxmanpur Beach is one of the biggest treasures of Neil Island. It stretches long and wide, perfect for lazy walks where you can watch the gentle waves touching the shore.
This beach is famous for:
Stunning sunsets where the whole sky turns orange, pink, and purple.
In the evenings, the beach feels almost magical. You can sit quietly, listen to the soft splash of the waves, and watch the sun slowly dip into the ocean. It’s a picture-perfect moment that stays with you forever.
Bharatpur Beach is the lively heart of Neil Island, full of color and action, yet still peaceful compared to other tourist beaches.
Here you can enjoy:
Glass-bottom boat rides where you can see the colorful underwater world without getting wet.
There are small stalls near the beach selling fresh coconut water and light snacks. It’s a great place for families, kids, and couples who want to swim, splash, and enjoy a fun day by the sea.
Sitapur Beach is often called the “Sunrise Beach” because it faces the open ocean and catches the first light of day. It’s a quiet, untouched beach where nature feels pure and endless.
At Sitapur Beach, you can:
Enjoy the fresh breeze and feel completely free.
Unlike other beaches, Sitapur is less crowded, giving you a peaceful place to think, dream, or simply enjoy the beauty of a new day. It’s perfect for early risers and nature lovers.
One of the most amazing sights on Neil Island is the Natural Rock Formation, also lovingly called “Howrah Bridge” by the locals.
This place offers:
A chance to walk carefully over rocks and explore nature’s wonders up close.
Visiting the Natural Rock is like stepping into a storybook where the ocean is the artist. It’s best to come here during low tide when you can walk right up to the arch and take wonderful pictures.
Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) is truly a land of calm, where every moment feels light and free.
Here you’ll find:
Cozy guesthouses and small resorts surrounded by gardens and palm trees.
The nights here are magical too, with clear skies full of stars and the sound of waves in the distance.
It’s a perfect place to forget stress, leave your busy thoughts behind, and enjoy the simple happiness of island life.
