Kala Pathar Beach

The Kala Pathar Beach in Andaman Island, as a holiday spot at least doesn’t need an introduction and is one of those trips in which both the journey and the destination is a pleasurable one. A variety of people visit here for several reasons, from scuba diving enthusiasts and water sports lovers to those that just enjoy sea beaches and magnificent sunrises and sunsets and so on, you’d see each of them. 

If you, like most of us, have been bored by the monotonous lifestyle that the pandemic has brought, then it might be time to plan your next trip. And if you’re wondering where to visit, then among other places, we would suggest the Havelock Island, which is a part of the Island Chain of Andaman, and the Kala Pathar beach on it. There are a variety of things that the Island would offer you, starting from adventurous water sports, to calm and serene beaches and much more.

Why is the Kala Pathar beach popular?

Unlike some of the other well-known spots of Havelock Island, like Elephant Beach or Radhanagar Beach, the Kala Pathar beach is a secluded spot that is best for a relaxing evening. There aren’t any furnished resorts as such, so you can travel here, spend some time on the beach, and move on to the next destination on your list. If you’re planning to take your family here, choosing our Andaman Family Package would be the best.

The Kalapthar beach is popularly known as the Sunrise beach, owing to the breathtaking sunrise views that one can see from here. And not just the sunrise, the beach is well-known for its vivid scenic and natural beauty that can be enjoyed best with loved ones, and even alone, to escape the tiring work schedule and dull city life. And while you’re there, some snacks and coconut water that are easily available from the nearby shops can be great to make it an even more enjoyable experience.

One of the striking features of the beach is the contrasting colors of the black boulders and the white sand. Adding to this natural contrast is the azurish hue of the sea. Since the best time to visit Andaman is from October to November and February to March, we suggest you visit the Kalapathar Beach during this time.

Getting to the Destination

The Kala Pathar Beach is separated by a distance of about 10 km from Havelock Island and about 60 km from Port Blair.

If you opt to travel from Port Blair to Kalapathar Beach, you can book the high-speed catamarans for a luxurious and comfortable journey. On the other hand, there are several government ferries available that traverse this route, but take much more time. To avoid any inconveniences, we suggest you book the ferries before your date of travel.

Again, if you are looking to travel from Havelock Island to Kalapathar Beach, you can book cabs for a faster and smooth journey. To book cabs at the best prices, contact our Andaman Cab Service. However, if you want a more fun ride, you can rent a bike to reach your destination.

What other places can you visit on Havelock Island?

As we said, Havelock Island is full of wonders and places to visit which makes the stay worth it. For example, if you and your spouse desire to experience an unforgettable honeymoon and are into water sports, then Elephant Island is a must-visit.

On the other hand, you can enjoy the other relaxing aspects and visit the Radhanagar and Vijay Nagar beaches, which just like the Kala Pathar beach provide an awesome closeness with mother nature. Be it in the form of clear waters, sunrise and sunsets, what can be better than a good old walk on the beach? 

Either way, make sure you choose the best Andaman Honeymoon Package that can allow a much stress-free and fun-packed experience. And not just the newlyweds, this is a one-holiday destination that is suitable for friends and family as well due to the diverse attractions present. 

So, if you’re in to spend some quality time and enjoy the best of nature, then make sure that you include Havelock Island and especially the Kala Pathar beach on it, the next time you’re planning to visit the Andamans.
