ELEPHANT BEACH
Known for its pristine corals, abundant marine life, and perfect sand, Elephant Beach is a paradise for divers, snorkellers and sunseekers alike, and visitors can also enjoy kayaking, trekking and birdwatching. One of the most beautiful spots in the whole of the Andamans, the beach got its name from days past when elephants were transported to the island to help people reach the beach before the time of boats. Today, you can enjoy a ride around the beach on elephant back.
