Elephant Beach

Elephant Beach is a popular beach on the northwest coast of Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Known for its white sandy shoreline, turquoise waters and fringing coral reef, it is a major centre for snorkeling and water sports. Accessible by boat or a forest trek, the beach is surrounded by tropical forest and offers clear waters, coral viewing and beach recreation within a protected coastal environment.

Visitors can expect a curved white-sand beach bordered by tropical forest and clear turquoise water with a shallow coral reef close to shore. Access is by motorboat from Havelock Jetty (about 20-30 minutes) or by a 30-40 minute trek through forest. The beach area has designated zones for snorkeling, sea walk, jet skiing and other water sports with equipment rental, changing rooms and small food stalls. The setting is natural and open with no permanent resorts on the beach itself.
