Sir Hugh Rose Island (accessible via boat) Tourism

Sir Hugh Rose Island, now known as 'Lakshmanpur Beach No. 1,' is a small, uninhabited island located off the western coast of Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Renowned for its vibrant marine life and coral reefs, the island serves as a popular spot for snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts. The island is named after a British general but has since been embraced with a local designation that reflects its geographical position. The serene beauty of the white sandy beaches juxtaposed with the crystal-clear waters creates a tranquil escape for visitors. As there are no permanent facilities on Sir Hugh Rose Island, day trips are organized from Neil Island. These excursions allow tourists to explore the untouched natural environment, making it an ideal spot for those seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of city life and for adventurers looking to delve into the underwater world. Its remoteness ensures a relatively secluded experience compared to other tourist spots in the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago.
