More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A longtail boat parts the mirror-flat Andaman as the sun leans west, limestone cliffs throwing long shadows that seem to dare you closer. You slide along a chain of seven islands — plates of white sand, jagged karst towers, and shallow coral gardens — watching fish scatter like coins as the boat's wake passes.

History
The islands are part of the Andaman karst system—limestone formed from ancient reefs uplifted and sculpted over millennia; local fishing villages have long used the sheltered channels between islets.
Conservation

Aim to be on the western-facing beach 30–45 minutes before sunset for the best golden light and fewer crowds.
