South Andaman district

The core district of the Andaman Islands, where blue seas, white sand and coral-reef diving draw island lovers.

South Andaman district lies in the southern part of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Its seat, Port Blair, is the administrative and transport hub of the archipelago. Port Blair has the colonial-era Cellular Jail and historic sites such as Ross Island. Radhanagar Beach on Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) is renowned and is a top spot for snorkeling and diving, while Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) is quieter. Sea conditions are good from November to May, ideal for getting out on the water. The gateway is Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair, and ferries link the islands.
