About German Jetty
German Jetty is a historic coastal jetty located at Mayabunder in North and Middle Andaman, Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Built during the British colonial period with German collaboration, it extends into the sea near the Mayabunder creek. The structure is noted for its aged wooden and concrete remains, scenic sea views, and mangrove surroundings. It serves as a quiet sightseeing spot reflecting the area's colonial maritime history and is visited for photography and coastal scenery.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a dilapidated jetty structure extending into the sea surrounded by mangroves, calm backwaters and open sea views. The site offers views of the coastline, fishing boats and forested shores. There are remnants of old pillars and decking to observe, open areas for walking and photography, and a tranquil coastal environment with minimal development. It is primarily a sightseeing and photography stop rather than a developed tourist complex.
