Elephant Beach is one of the most popular attractions on Havelock Island, known locally as Swaraj Dweep, in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. A pristine haven for nature lovers, Elephant Beach is celebrated for its coral reefs and clear turquoise waters which make it an ideal spot for diving and snorkeling. The beach is surrounded by lush greenery and a canopy of tropical trees providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With white sands underfoot and a gentle sea breeze, it’s ideal for those looking to relax on the beach or indulge in water sports. At Elephant Beach, the unique sight of elephants being trained and sometimes swimming in the sea is a delightful experience for many visitors. While it can be accessed via a short boat ride from the main jetty of Havelock Island, an alternative to reach the beach is by trekking through a forest, adding an adventurous element to the visit.
