More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dawn on Port Blair is spare and efficient: fishermen push off, diesel hums at the jetty and a morning ferry cleaves the lagoon toward Havelock Island. By mid-morning you step onto sand that opens wide — Radhanagar’s long white curve — and later trade the surf’s bright wash for Kalapathar’s flat black rocks and scattered tide pools.
