The ferry slips out of Port Blair before dawn, the harbor folding into low hills and a sea that brightens from pewter to turquoise as you cross 25 miles of Andaman waters. By the time the island comes into view, palms flank a scalloped shoreline and the sand reads as a single, bright stroke against green forest. The itinerary gives you a long morning on Radhanagar Beach — a wide crescent of powder-white sand where the tide and wind trade places and the surf dares you to leave your towel.
