Karmatang Beach

Karmatang Beach is a long sandy beach located about 12 kilometres from Mayabunder town in North and Middle Andaman district, Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Known as an important nesting ground for marine turtles, including green and olive ridley turtles, it features a wide shoreline, calm waters and surrounding mangrove creeks. Managed by the Forest Department, the beach is noted for its natural setting, turtle conservation area and relatively undisturbed environment.

Visitors can expect a long, wide sandy shoreline with calm, shallow waters, backed by casuarina trees and adjacent mangrove creeks. The beach is relatively undeveloped and quiet, with a designated turtle nesting and conservation area managed by the Forest Department. Facilities are basic, including parking and toilets. The setting is natural and open, suitable for walking along the shore, photography, and observing the coastal landscape. During nesting season, parts of the beach may be cordoned off to protect nests.
