The coastline in India covers a stretch of 7500+km touching 8 states, 2 union territories and 2 Island territories. I am fortunate enough to visit many of its splendid beaches and among them Radhanagar is Unique.
Goa harbors a number of famous beaches, among them, I have witnessed most of the southern Goa beaches such as Anjuna, Baga, Calangute, Dona Paula, Benaulim, Verca, Cavelossim and Palolem .
Doubtless they are beautiful, few are rocky, among these I liked Palolem the best because of it crescent shape and surrounded with coconut palms.
All the beaches are quite crowded as they are well connected with road.
Also one can enjoy parasailing and other aquatic sports in open sea.
Radhanagar beach is located in an Island named Havelock presently renamed as “Swaraaj Dweep” in Andaman and Nicobor group of Islands. It’s just at a distance of 67 km from Port Blair but you have to come by waterways that may take 1 hr,30 mins to 2 hrs.
The beach (approx 2 km long) with clear, transparent water which appears sky blue in white sands and surrounded with lush green trees of the rain forest like Dalbergia, Terminalia, Mangroves and screw pines. It’s really very difficult to find such dense shady vegetation close to sea beach.
The serene beauty with zero pollution and cool breeze will surely refresh your mind and soul; you can also stay in the beach area at night by hiring a tent.
You may miss aquatic sports over here but you can’t forget the captivating beauty of the nature once you reach Elephant beach near to Radhanagar by trekking and enjoy Scuba or Sea Walk to witness the underwater fauna, the Corals and the colorful fishes.
You can witness the few Pictures of different beaches taken by me and you can compare easily, but my honest suggestion is to visit once to Radhanagar Beach which is not to be missed.
Hope you can make the difference…
