The Dhaninallah Mangrove Walkway the longest of its kind in India is a standout, leading to the serene Dhaninallah Beach. Nearby, Amkunj and Moricedera Beaches offer unique rocky coastlines, eco-friendly sit-outs, and crystal-clear waters ideal for a peaceful break. Yerrata Jetty is another gem, especially at sunset, while Long Island is just a short boat ride away for those wanting a deeper dive into Andaman’s marine life.
