In Peak season, as many as three hundred tourists may
holed up here, and at sun times Havelock's much-photographed
Radhnagar beach, often touted as the most beautiful in India,
can feel overwhelmed.
On the plus side, the boat journey here from Neill, skirting
a string of uninhabited islets with shadowy views of Middle
Andaman to the west, is wonderful, and wildlife, both on
land and in the sea, remains abundant despite intensive
settlement and deforestation.

How to Get There
Havelock's main jetty is on the north side of the island,
adjoining the village known as Havelock. If one has booked
a room at the ANIICDO Dolphin Yatri Niwas, 5-km south along
the east coast, then one will be whisked away in the hotel
minibus. Otherwise, rent a moped or cycle for a few days
and head straight inland through the bazaar, turning right
at the first T-junction one will come towards Radhnagar,
12-km southwest. An intermittent bus service also covers
the route.
