A particularly nice thing for children, you can have a ride on an elephant on Radha Nagar Beach (no. 7). There is a little platform a little way along the beach from the entrance path - to the right - and you climb to that and then get into the howdah, which holds 4-6 people. The only thing that bothered me was the large chains around the elephants' forelegs, but the elephants did at least seem reasonable healthy.

A ride is 20INR per person.

Radha Nagar (No. 7) Beach

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

If you want to go and do some proper swimming, Radha Nagar is the place to head for. While beautiful, most of the other beaches have very shallow, coral-filled waters, but Radha Nagar shelves off quite quickly, so is the perfect depth, and even gets some pretty big waves if you fancy body-boarding or surfing. You'd have to bring your own equipment for that though, as there's none in any of the shops on Havelock.

There are a couple of beach hut and cabin 'hotels' right next to Radha Nagar, but they're pricier than many of the others on the island, and a long way from the main village. You're better off doing what we did - staying closer to the village / harbour area, and renting a scooter to get to No 7 and and other beaches. There are buses running on the island too, but I don't know how frequently they go or how much they cost.

There's a small line of shops and cafes at the entrance to the beach where you can get snacks, cups of tea, meals and even books!

Its the best place for snork near by island. The most of an other skork's plc far away from island. There are a lot of big fishes, corals, octopuses, turtle. Some people saw a sea caw there (january-febrary).
The way to that beach is via jungle of 20-30 min walk.
