Ross and Smith Islands at Andaman Islands

– The Twin Paradise of North Andaman

Located in the quiet northern tip of North Andaman near Diglipur, Ross and Smith Islands offer one of the most visually striking and memorable experiences in the Andamans. These twin islands are connected by a natural sandbar that emerges like a hidden pathway when the tide recedes. Walking across soft white sand with the sea gently lapping on both sides is a rare and surreal experience that stays with you. With their clear blue waters, quiet beaches, and well-preserved surroundings, the islands create the perfect setting for those who value raw natural beauty and a peaceful day away from the usual tourist crowd.

Ross and Smith strike a perfect balance between raw beauty and light adventure. The beaches are ideal for swimming and sunbathing, while snorkeling reveals coral patches and vibrant reef life just below the surface. On Smith Island, a quiet walk through mangrove forests and nature trails adds another layer of exploration. Visitors may also catch seasonal glass-bottom boat rides or observe the rich marine biodiversity surrounding the area. The setting is peaceful, with plenty of open space and natural shade, offering a refreshing alternative to the busier southern beaches.

Access begins from Aerial Bay Jetty in Diglipur, followed by a short boat ride. With no permanent structures or plastic waste allowed, the islands remain pristine and eco-friendly. Whether you're looking to unwind on a clean beach, explore gentle marine life, or enjoy a quiet day in nature, Ross and Smith Islands deliver an unforgettable experience that showcases the Andamans at their natural best.
