About the Destination

Located in the western part of the Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), the Laxmanpur beach is about 2.6 km from the Neil Island jetty. The beach is characterized by white sands and crystal clear waters. The amalgamation of the variance of colors makes it more majestic to look at.

Adding to the beauty is the lush greenery of the tall trees and the dense tropical forests. The sandy beach is almost free from hard rock, shells and corals. Thus walking barefoot on the soft sandy beach is an activity that you should try. There are no water activities available on this beach. People usually visit here to relax and enjoy the scenic views. 

The beach is lined with environmental-friendly huts and seats. So, you can relax here for longer periods and munch on some tasty sea foods and delicacies. Several shops selling gifts and souvenirs as well as varied snacks dot the beach. 

One of the most striking features of the beach is its shape. The Laxmanpur Beach is triangular. Owing to its shape, you can get breathtaking views of the sunset. Standing at the tip of the beach provides a panoramic view of the horizon, where the sky meets the crystal blue waters.

The ideal time to visit the beach is after 3.30 p.m. if you want to enjoy the brilliant sunset. October to February can be considered as the best months to visit here. Contact us to know more about our Domestic Tour Package.

How to Reach the Laxmanpur Beach
  • Cabs

You can book a cab from near the jetty to reach the beach. However since the Neil island is small in size and has very few tourist spots, we suggest you book a cab and travel to all the beaches on the same day. You can avail several packages that include a trip to all three beaches. If you are looking to book a cab, contact our Andaman Cab Service for hassle-free and quick booking.

  • Buses

Buses are generally preferred by the local people and by tourists who are on a strict budget. Although the buses run regularly on this route, there are not many available. Also, this is not a comfortable journey. Before booking the tickets, make sure to enquire about the timings and the availability.

  • Auto-Rickshaws

Auto-rickshaws are also a great means of transport to the beach. The rates may vary among the drivers. Thus it is highly suggested that you negotiate the prices and also book your return journey.

  • Two-wheelers on Rent

You can easily book a two-wheeler from the providers near the jetty. These are charged on an hourly basis. Be sure to carry or avail a map from the provider in case you get confused. There are no parking charges at the beach and the road leading to your destination is also easy to navigate. 

Tourist Spots near the Beach

Apart from the Laxmanpur beach, there are several places on the Neil Island where you can visit. These include the following:

  • Sitapur Beach
