Sitapur Beach at Andaman Islands

– The Sunrise Beach of Neil Island

Located on the southeastern edge of Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), Sitapur Beach is where the day begins before the island fully wakes up. Known as the ‘Sunrise Beach’ for good reason, this quiet stretch of coastline offers one of the most breathtaking dawns in the Andaman Islands. With its gently curving bay, limestone cliffs, and soft, pale sand, Sitapur is the kind of place where light and silence work together to create magic. And because it remains largely untouched by commercialization, it still feels like a secret—one that reveals itself slowly with the rising sun.

Sitapur doesn’t overwhelm you with activities, and that’s exactly its charm. Early mornings here are all about slow, meaningful moments—watching waves break against volcanic rocks, dipping your feet in cool morning tides, or just soaking in the sky as it shifts from lavender to gold. The beach is flanked by rugged cliffs and scattered coconut palms, giving it a raw, natural beauty that feels grounded and unfiltered. While the tides can be strong—making it less ideal for swimming—the visual drama of this beach is reason enough to visit. For those who stay nearby, it also becomes a peaceful escape during midday, when other spots are bustling.

What makes Sitapur Beach stand out is not just its scenery, but the pace it encourages. There’s no rush here—no crowds, no distractions, just you and the sea. Whether you're chasing a sunrise, finding a quiet corner to read, or simply adding a contemplative pause to your island itinerary, Sitapur delivers an experience that’s quietly powerful. It’s the kind of destination that doesn’t try to entertain you—it just lets you be part of something timeless, if only for a while.
