Beaches

Havelock Island is the best island for tourists in the Andaman Islands. Havelock is just 2 hours away from the capital island (where the airport is located) of Port Blair. It also has beach no. 7, which has been rated as the best beach in Asia by Time Magazine in November, 2004. The 2km white sand beach is very calm between October - April and excellent for swimming and there is even a cove which is good for snorkelling.

There is only one exclusive eco-resort behind this beach, Barefoot at Havelock, Jungle Resort. The company which runs this resort also runs a scuba diving center and flights from Bangkok to the Andaman Islands. You can get more info in their website http://www.barefootindia.com/ .
