How To Reach Neil Island Sitapur Beach

To reach Sitapur beach in the Andaman Islands, you must first take a government or private ferry from Port Blair to Havelock Island. Since there are no direct ferries to this route, you will reach Neil Island only via Havelock. Since there is no scuba diving in Sitapur Beach, you can try it at Bharatpur Beach or in Havelock before heading to Neil.

Once on Neil Island, Sitapur Beach is located about 5 kilometers from the main market at the southern tip of the island. Renting a bike is the most convenient option to get there, offering you flexibility and the chance to explore the island at your own pace. Alternatively, autos and cabs are also available for a comfortable ride. The route is easy to navigate, and the friendly locals are always happy to help with directions.

Things To Do In and Around Sitapur Beach

• Capture Sunrises – Sitapur beach is known as the Sunrise Beach for good reason. The beautiful sunrise that unfolds here will leave you mesmerised. The sky turns into a canvas of warm colors, creating a perfect moment to capture on camera. Don’t forget to pack your camera.

• Long Strolls – A long walk is the best way to explore Sitapur Beach. If you are wondering why we haven’t mentioned water sports like scuba diving or swimming, it’s because of the choppy waters. Open sea exposure during high tides can prove dangerous for swimmers. So it’s best to avoid the waters and take in the sights and sounds from a safe distance. Also the beach doesn’t have changing room facilities making it hard to change in and out of your swimming gear.

• Visit Nearby Beaches – Visit nearby beaches for a peaceful experience. Laxmanpur Beach, known for its stunning sunsets and stargazing, is a secluded spot that requires a short 7km ride from Sitapur Beach. Similarly, Bharatpur Beach, a must visit location about 6 kilometres away, is best reached by renting a scooter or hiring an auto for a comfortable trip.
