Neil Island

Neil Island is most renowned for its unmatched biodiversity and untouched expanse of verdant, tropical woods, white sand beaches, and abundant coral reefs.

Currently referred to as the Shaheed Dweep, this small island only covers 13.7 square kilometers, the most of which is covered in forest.

Neil Island is ideal for anyone looking for a relaxed Andaman holiday away from the bustle of the city and into a beautiful world of total tranquility because there aren't many cars, markets, resorts, or people living there.

While one side of the beach opens up into the captivating sea, the other is encircled by a thick forest canopy. There are numerous little cabins and chairs along the forest's edge where you may unwind and take in the scenery.

Natural Bridge: (Natural Rock Formation)

Famous For: Sightseeing.

Timings: Open till 5:30 PM

The Natural Bridge, which is close to Laxmanpur Beach 2, is one of the greatest places to marvel at the wonders of nature and get some incredible photos.

Locally referred to as the "Howrah Bridge," it was sculpted over many years by water flowing from the neighboring rocky slope.

You must turn left from the Laxmanpur beach shoreline to get to the natural bridge, which is not visible from the beach. At high tide, furious waves cover the pathway, making the bridge inaccessible. It is only open during low tide.
At the starting point, you can hire guides to help you get to the destination comfortably. Typically, fees are within the 400–500 INR range. You can get assistance from the guide when taking family photos as well.

All in all, a fantastic location to go when you are already enjoying the beach in Laxmanpur.

Those with more time to spend at the beach can turn left from the seashore and explore the Natural Bridge 2.
