Day 1
Havelock Island Highlights
Kick off your Havelock adventure with its most famous beaches and underwater wonders, wrapping up with a laid-back sunset and fresh seafood.
Activities
Radhanagar Beach Bliss
Start your day at Radhanagar Beach, often ranked among Asia's best. The soft white sand and turquoise waters are perfect for a morning swim or just soaking in the views. The beach is relatively quiet early, so you can enjoy the serenity before the crowds arrive.
- Carry water and sunscreen—shade is limited.
- Walk south along the shore for quieter spots.
Snorkeling at Elephant Beach
Head to Elephant Beach for some of the island's best snorkeling. The shallow reefs here are teeming with colorful fish and coral. You can rent gear on-site or book a guided snorkeling trip for better spots. The boat ride to the beach (about 20 mins) is scenic too.
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life.
- Go early if you want to avoid the midday rush.
Sunset at Kalapathar Beach
Wrap up your day at Kalapathar Beach, a quieter stretch with black rocks contrasting against the sand. It’s a great spot to watch the sunset with fewer people around. The shallow waters are ideal for a quick dip, and the vibe is pure island relaxation.
- Bring a towel—the sand can get hot earlier in the day.
- Stay for the golden hour—the light is magical.

Havelock Island Nature & Culture
Dive deeper into Havelock's natural beauty and local culture with a mix of adventure and relaxation, exploring untouched beaches and vibrant village life.
Activities
Kayaking through Mangroves
Paddle through the serene mangrove creeks near Havelock, where the water is so clear you can spot fish darting beneath your kayak. The quiet channels are home to crabs, birds, and sometimes even small reef sharks. Opt for a guided tour to learn about the delicate mangrove ecosystem.
- Wear quick-dry clothes and reef-safe sunscreen
- Bring a waterproof phone case for photos
Vijaynagar Beach & Village Walk
Often overlooked for its famous neighbor Radhanagar, Vijaynagar Beach is a quiet stretch of white sand with shallow turquoise water perfect for a lazy swim. Afterward, stroll through the nearby village to see local life—small tea shops, fishermen mending nets, and maybe even a game of carrom under the trees.
- Try fresh coconut water from beachside vendors
- Respect local customs—ask before photographing people
Sunset at Neil’s Cove
A hidden gem near Radhanagar, this tiny crescent-shaped cove is accessed by a short forest trail. The sunset here paints the sky in pinks and oranges, with fewer crowds than Kalapathar. Pack a picnic and arrive 30 minutes early to snag a spot on the rocks.
- Wear sturdy sandals for the rocky path
- Carry a flashlight for the walk back
