Radhanagar Beach (Havelock Island)
About
Consistently ranked among Asia's best beaches, Radhanagar on Havelock Island is a sweeping crescent of powdery white sand fringed by lush tropical forest. The turquoise water is crystal clear, the sunsets are legendary, and the beach remains refreshingly uncrowded compared to mainland alternatives. The forest behind the beach is home to Andaman crabs and the occasional monitor lizard.

Rainforest Fringe
Dense tropical forest runs right up to the sand, creating a dramatic green wall behind the white beach — perfect for shaded walks.

On moonless nights between November and February, the shallow waters sometimes glow blue-green with bioluminescent plankton.
