Ross and Smith Islands

If there is one place in Diglipur that looks straight out of a postcard, it is Ross and Smith Islands. Connected by a natural white sandbar in the middle of the sea, these twin islands are among the most unique and beautiful places to visit in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The journey to reach here is an experience in itself. From Aerial Bay Jetty, Diglipur, a boat takes you through the clear blue waters of North Andaman. As you approach the islands, the sight of the long stretch of white sand joining the two islands surrounded by turquoise water is truly unforgettable.

Visitors can walk across the natural sandbar, relax on the peaceful beaches, swim in the clear water (depending on sea conditions), and enjoy the untouched beauty of the surroundings. The islands are also surrounded by coral reefs and rich marine life, making them a favourite among nature lovers and photographers.

Unlike crowded tourist beaches, Ross and Smith Islands offer a calm and natural experience. If you are exploring North Andaman, this destination should definitely be on your itinerary.
