Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep): Coral Shores — Guides, Itineraries & Tour Packages

Havelock Island, officially Swaraj Dweep, is the Andaman and Nicobar Islands’ best-known beach destination, celebrated for Radhanagar Beach, clear waters, coral reefs and excellent scuba diving. It suits couples, families, snorkellers, divers and travellers seeking a relaxed tropical escape. October to June is generally the most practical travel window, although October can bring showers and sea-condition changes. Most visitors fly to Port Blair and continue by government or private ferry to Swaraj Dweep; seaplane services may also operate subject to availability and weather.
