Long Island is one of those hidden gems in the Andamans that feels like it was made for couples. With its untouched beaches, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful vibe, it’s perfect for slowing down and enjoying each other’s company. I’ve spent time here just watching the sunsets and strolling along empty shores – it’s the kind of place where you can really connect.

A relaxed day uncovering the lesser-known spots and local flavors of Long Island, perfect for winding down your romantic getaway.
Activities
Morning at Merk Bay
Start your day with a peaceful boat ride to Merk Bay, a secluded beach with powdery white sand and crystal-clear water. It's quieter than Lalaji Bay, making it ideal for a private morning swim or just lounging under the palms. The boat ride itself is scenic, passing through lush mangroves and small islets.
- Pack snacks and water—there are no shops here
- Wear water shoes; the seabed can be rocky in patches
Lunch at a Local Home
Skip the usual restaurants and opt for a home-cooked meal at a local's house. Many families offer authentic Nicobari meals—think fresh seafood, coconut-based curries, and tropical fruits. It's a great way to connect with the island's culture and taste flavors you won't find elsewhere.
- Ask for the day's catch—it’s always the freshest
- Try the local fermented toddy if you're feeling adventurous
Sunset at the Secret Cliff
End your trip with a short hike to a hidden cliff spot known mostly to locals. The view over the Andaman Sea is breathtaking, especially as the sun dips below the horizon. It’s quieter than the jetty, with just the sound of waves and rustling leaves.
- Wear sturdy sandals for the rocky path
- Bring a flashlight for the walk back
