Elephant Beach
About
Elephant Beach is the ultimate hub for water sports and marine adventure on Havelock Island, famous for its shallow, crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs. The beach is accessible either by a short, scenic speed boat ride from Havelock Jetty or via an adventurous trek through a dense mangrove forest. The shoreline features unique fallen white trees, creating a dramatic, wild landscape that contrasts beautifully with the neon-blue water.

Things to Know
- •Most water sports operations and boat transits wind down by 2:00 PM, so it is highly recommended to plan this excursion for the morning hours.
- •If you choose to trek to the beach, hire a local guide at the trailhead, as the path can become muddy, confusing, and slippery after rains.
- •There are no permanent concrete hotels or luxury restaurants here, only temporary shacks selling fresh fruits, coconuts, and simple snacks.
