Description

Kala Pathar Beach is one of the most serene and picturesque beaches located on Swaraj Dweep (formerly known as Havelock Island). The beach gets its name from the large black rocks (“Kala Pathar”) that are scattered along the shoreline, creating a striking contrast with the white sand and clear blue sea. Kala Pathar Beach is located about 6–7 kilometers from the Havelock Jetty, making it easily accessible by road. Unlike the more crowded beaches on the island, this beach is known for its peaceful environment and untouched natural beauty, making it a perfect place for visitors looking to relax and enjoy nature. The beach features a narrow stretch of soft white sand bordered by dense tropical forests and coconut trees. The calm waters and gentle waves create a tranquil atmosphere ideal for morning walks, photography, and simply enjoying the scenic views. Kala Pathar Beach is particularly famous for its sunrise views, when the early morning light reflects beautifully on the sea and the black rocks along the shore. While swimming is limited due to rocky areas, the beach remains a favorite location for travelers who want to experience the quiet and natural side of the Andaman Islands. With its peaceful setting, unique rock formations, and stunning coastal scenery, Kala Pathar Beach is considered one of the most scenic hidden gems on Swaraj Dweep.
