Closed in: Open all year

Kalapathar Beach, located on the eastern coast of Havelock Island (now Swaraj Dweep), is one of the most serene and tranquil spots in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Named after the adjoining black rocks that are reminiscent of its name, 'Kalapathar' which literally means 'Black Rock' in Hindi, the beach exhibits a pristine ecosystem. Its silvery sand contrasts strikingly with the boulders and blue waters, creating a picturesque setting that's ideal for relaxation and photography. The beach is less commercialized and less crowded compared to other beaches on the island, which helps maintain its untouched beauty. Kalapathar Beach is accessible by road and is a short distance away from popular holiday resorts. It provides a peaceful retreat for visitors looking to escape the hustle of daily life and immerse themselves in nature. The sunrises here are particularly enchanting and offer a splendid start to the day. Being part of a chain of islands in the Bay of Bengal, Havelock Island has rich marine biodiversity making it a delightful spot for observing coral reefs and water-bound flora and fauna.
