DESCRIPTION

Kalapathar Beach is a unique and picturesque destination located in the Kalapathar Village, Swaraj Dweep. It is a beautiful combination of silky golden sands, blue waters, lush green trees, and big black rocks that give it a distinctive look. The beach stretches long and is a continuation of beach No. 5, situated on one corner of Havelock Island.

While the beach can get a bit crowded during the high season, if you walk further south, you can find yourself completely alone, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. There is a small lodging path through the green jungle, which was once an elephant training camp, but now leads to a secluded beach where you can relax and unwind.

Although swimming is prohibited on the beach due to the presence of black rocks, the water is deep enough to take a dip and is not affected by tides. It’s essential to be cautious while going into the water as there are rocks and corals. Kalapathar Beach offers a couple of umbrellas and wooden chairs for visitors to relax and enjoy the view. There is also a small picnic area with trash bins set in the shade of the trees, and during the season, locals sell fresh coconuts and mango juices, adding to the charm of this serene location.
