Ramnagar Beach in Andaman Islands
Ramnagar Beach is located in Diglipur and lies 20km south of Diglipur Island and accessible through water and road. The beach is surrounded by palm and coconut trees or from other coastal shrubs.There are limited facilities and couple of small shops near the bus stand in the village.
Forest department is slowly developing the beach into an eco friendly area. Some open tree houses are present here where you can spend some time and enjoying the vast open sea.The greyish volcanic sand makes the sea darker for that reason snorkelling is not the best activity to do here.
Ramnagar Beach is also known as a turtle nesting ground for Olive Ridley turtles that’s the reason the beach closes at 5pm and no one allowed to walk on the sand afterwards.

Lamiya Bay beach
The rugged beauty of the deep blues is present in the Lamiya Beach.This is perhaps the most visited tourist site in the whole of the Andamans and you are in for a surprise if you expected a regular beach.There is something untamed and beauty that runs wild in the Lamiya Bay Beach.Another attraction here is that beach is the Saddle Peak,the highest peak point in the entire Islands at a highest peak point in the entire Isalnds at a height of 800 metres above sea level.
Alfred Caves
Caves harbouring treasures and mystifying creatures in its dark interior has always topped my imagination.If this is true with you too,then I am sure taht you would simply love the Alfred Caves.This exploration itself take at least 2 days to complete because the Alfred Caves is not a single cave,but a set of 42 caves spread across Diglipur.This is definitely not for those with a weak heart because this trek is perhaps the most difficult and challenging expedition in the entire Islands.
Pathi Level Beach
The fuss is not entirely about the Beach,though it is unparalleled beauty with wide open sea,rich with coral reefs and housing some of the rarest varieties of marine life.Since it is not easily accessible by road,by foot or by waterways,it poses and issue for tourists because it is definitely an isolated location.But Pathi Level Beach is a heaven for those who crave a little bit of privacy away from praying eyes and crowded beaches.
