How to Reach Radhanagar Beach?
Radhanagar Beach is located around 12 kilometers from the Havelock Jetty on Havelock Island along the western coast of the Andamans. You can reach Havelock Island easily by taking private or government ferries from Port Blair.
The best way to reach Radhanagar Beach is by taking a chauffeured cab for families/large groups (self-drive cars not available), and rental bikes for smaller groups (not during monsoons). It is one straight road with a twenty-minute ride and navigation is fairly easy.
It is about a 9 kilometer ride from the market and thus cycling there is not for the faint-hearted. Also, there are not many cafes/stops in the middle besides all the other points we mentioned of distance and road safety. Public buses, air conditioned buses and shared jeeps are available but only at fixed timings. Ask the information desk at the jetty when you reach Havelock Island. Alternatively, ask your hotel travel desk.
