Served by only to boats per week from the capital (usually
Wednesday & Saturday), and two daily lumber launches
from Rangat, it sees far fewer visitors than either Neill
or Havelock, but boasts a couple of excellent beaches, at
Marg Bay and Lalaji Bay, both of which are most easily reached
by chartering a fisherman's dinghy from the jetty. The later
beach is earmarked as the sight of a new ANIIDCO Yatri Niwas.
This is a good island to head for if one wants to side-step
the hordes at Havelock, but don't have time to tackle the
long trip north.
How to Get There
Ferries operate between Phoenix Bay Jetty, Port Blair twice
a weekk to reach Long Islands.
Places to Stay
The APWD Forest Rest House and ANNIDCO Yatri Niwas are
the places of accommodation where one can stay. Visitors
should book well in advance for a confirmed reservation.
