Getting married? Looking for the best honeymoon beach destinations that will create unforgettable memories? Imagine soft sand underfoot, the sweet brush of the wind, and water gently lapping at your feet as you and your beloved's hands stay locked. Well, you can make it come true. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal, are popular among honeymooners as one of India's most fantasy-like honeymoon destinations, with varied beaches for swimming, snorkeling and watching turtles. From the popular shores of Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) to the charming Sri Vijaya Puram (formerly Port Blair), this group of islands has many beautiful beaches for a couple to enjoy many pleasurable days.
This list focuses on the best beach destinations in the Andaman Islands, touching on the best spots with fun activities like Amkunj Beach (eco-friendly, rocky shoreline, designated eco-park), Morrice Dera Beach (known for its scenic views), and Cuthbert Bay Beach (a key turtle nesting site).
Radhanagar Beach has grainy sand alongside bright blue waters. Elephant Beach contains an array of coral reefs, which can be viewed while snorkeling or explored on jet ski rides. One of the top reasons to enjoy this island is that resorts may offer private dining experiences near the beach.
Corbyn's Cove Beach is surrounded by palm trees and is within a short distance from the city. Flanked by coconut palm trees, the beach also offers various facilities, including adventurous water sports for those couples who want some lively fun.
Shaheed Dweep (Neil Island) has a more relaxed vibe. Bharatpur Beach features crystal-clear waters, making glass-bottom boat rides or snorkelling a great choice. Laxmanpur Beach is known for its natural rock formations, especially around the nearby Natural Bridge, making it a popular spot for romantic photos. And Sitapur Beach is endearing for its unique rock formations and low limestone cliffs that give any stroll a dramatic feel.
Butler Bay Beach not only has golden sand lined with palm trees, but its waters offer waves good enough for surfing in style. A short distance away, there is the Little Andaman Lighthouse for a vantage point of the lush rainforest and coast.
Amkunj Beach, one of the island's most eco-friendly beaches, has a rocky shoreline and is designated as an eco-park. Other attractions include Morrice Dera Beach, known for its scenic views, and Cuthbert Bay Beach, an important turtle nesting site.
A trip to the islands gives lucky travelers many happy jaunts across the tranquil beach life that defines the Andaman Islands — from Radhanagar's lovely shores, to snorkeling in the shallow waters around Neil Island. Pick a beach destination for your honeymoon that pairs privacy with natural beauty.
