Ross & Smith Islands

North Andaman

Ross & Smith Islands

Two small islands connected by a thin natural sandbar you can walk straight across at low tide, with calm, clear water on either side. Far less crowded than anything near Havelock or Neil, Ross & Smith rewards the extra travel time to reach North Andaman with some of the emptiest white sand in the archipelago.

Highlights

  • A natural sandbar connecting two separate islets
  • Walkable crossing at low tide, water on both sides
  • Near-empty beaches even in peak season
  • Best paired with a Saddle Peak morning trek
