Not every place tells a story through old buildings or museums. Flag Point is special because it marks one of the proudest moments in India’s freedom struggle. It was here, on 30 December 1943, that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose hoisted the Indian National Flag during his historic visit to the Andaman Islands. Today, this peaceful waterfront landmark stands as a reminder of that unforgettable day.

Located near Marina Park, Flag Point offers beautiful views of the Bay of Bengal and is a pleasant stop while exploring Port Blair. A large national flag, memorial plaques, and informative displays help visitors understand the historical importance of the site. The open sea, cool breeze, and quiet surroundings make it a great place to spend a few moments reflecting on India’s journey to independence.

Although it doesn’t take long to explore, Flag Point is a destination that leaves a lasting impression and is well worth including in your Port Blair sightseeing tour.
