Elephant beach is known to be the heaven of Havelock for snorkeling. The beach is located in north-western region of the island. You need to take a boat to reach the beach as the rain forest is not drive able. During snorkeling you will see the beautiful and colorful sea urchins, live corals, fishes and other sea creatures. It will make you feel as if you are in sea garden.

Just next to Elephant beach, there is another beach called as Kala Pattar. On your drive to the Kala Pattar beach you will see tropical forest on one side of the road and big black rocks on the other side of the road.

The beach is perfect place to relax as there are no modern amities; the nature here is left to its original form, untouched. But the beach here is not safe to swim as it has strong currents along with sharp rocks in its bed.

The attractive beaches of Havelock Island are the perfect place not only for a romantic holiday with your partner but also for family holiday.
