About Kalapathar Beach, Hutbay
Black rocky limestone formations are dotted all along this sandy beach making it different from other island’s beaches. Blocks of high rocks on one side form a circular pool that fills with water at high tide and allows calm baths in the warm sea. However proper swimming or snorkeling is not possible on Kalapathar due to sharp rocks and strong currents. If you climb the rocks and manage to squeeze yourself through a small path, you can enjoy a glimpse of the neighboring Butler Bay.
