About Kalipur Beach
Kalipur Beach is a sandy coastal beach located at Kalipur village near Diglipur in North Andaman, Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is notable as one of the few beaches in the islands where Olive Ridley, Green and Leatherback turtles come ashore to nest between December and April. Backed by coastal vegetation and close to Saddle Peak National Park, the beach is known for its relatively secluded setting, dark sands and calm surroundings.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a long, relatively secluded sandy shoreline with calm waters, bordered by casuarina trees and coastal forest. The beach area includes open sand, shallow waters near shore and views of the surrounding coastline. During nesting season, visitors may observe turtle nesting activity at night with forest department permission. The setting is natural and low-development, suitable for walking, photography and nature observation, with nearby mangrove areas and access to Saddle Peak National Park.
