About
What this place is like
Renamed Swaraj Dweep but still widely known as Havelock, this island is where most travellers find their postcard moment—white sand, clear water, and slow village pace. Radhanagar Beach (Beach 7) headlines visits; Elephant Beach and Kalapathar add snorkelling and quieter coves. Stay two to three nights minimum—scooter rides through palm lanes and early-morning swims beat rushed day trips from Port Blair.
