Natural Bridge

This spot is perfect for spotting sea creatures like small fish, sea urchins, sea starfish, and sea cucumbers. The beach is also known as ‘dead coral beach’ but today you can even witness colorful corals making a reappearance. This is great because a thriving marine life is always a great sign for the ecosystem of the region. In the late afternoons, the Neil Island natural bridge gets slightly crowded because it’s the last stop before heading to the sunset point.

How to Reach The Natural Rock Formation?

To reach Natural Bridge you will first take a ferry from Neil Island via Port Blair. You can hop on to private or government ships or ferries that ply frequently from Port Blair. Then comes your journey to Natural Bridge. You can start walking from Laxmanpur Beach or from Beach Number 2 and in about 100 to 200 metres you will see the entrance. Another way to reach here is by reaching the only jetty in the area at Bharatpur Beach. This is the jetty where most government ships dock and is 2.5 kilometers from the main entrance of the bridge.

You can rent a taxi, auto-rickshaw, bicycle, or 2-wheeler from the jetty to get here. Another alternate is walking from Sitapur Beach – but this is a long, winding walk. On reaching the main entrance, park your vehicles outside, climb a rocky path, and then walk a few meters through the craggy shores to see the bridge. Wear comfortable footwear and check the tide timings before you plan a trip here. Once you complete the challenging and fun trip, you can unwind at the nearby hotels which range of budget hotels to luxury resorts.
