Radha Nagar Beach - Havelock


Radhanagar Beach
Radhanagar Beach in Havelock Island is one of the well-known beaches of Andaman Nicobar Islands. Being located quite away from the main city gives it prime importance. One can find it to be favorite among visitors who flock around the Radhanagar Beach for some privacy which is definitely needed to watch the spell bound beauty of this beach.
Sunset

I believe the quietness and this serenity is what attracts the visitors to the Radhanagar Beach. One also gets to see much of flora and fauna surrounding this beach. Additionally there's much more to do on Radhanagar Beach which includes large variety of water sports like snorkelling, swimming, motor sports and much more than one could imagine.Not to miss, the Sunsets!! Simply amazing.
