Elephant Beach is one of Andaman's most gorgeous hidden gems! Located on Havelock Island (now known as Swaraj Dweep), this beach is a great place for water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers.
Despite its name, you won't find any elephants here! The beach got its name from the elephant-shaped rock formation that once stood on its shore, which unfortunately was destroyed during the 2004 tsunami. However, this natural disaster led to an unexpected silver lining – the formation of stunning coral reefs that now make it a top snorkelling spot.
If you're planning your Andaman tour packages, trust me, Elephant Beach should be right at the top of your must-visit list. The beach has become super popular among tourists who want to experience both relaxation and adventure in one stunning location.
Entry to Elephant Beach is free, but visitors need to pay for water sports activities. Snorkelling and sea walking prices range from ₹1,000 to ₹3,500 per person, depending on the operator and duration.
