Kalapathar Beach
A beach on Havelock's east coast at the end of the main road, famous for its black rocks and sunrises. It is quiet and uncrowded.
Kalapathar Beach lies at the end of the main road on the east coast of Havelock Island. Its name means "black stone", after the dark rocks that line the shore. White sand, clear blue water and a fringe of coconut palms stretch along the coastline. In the early morning, it is the island's best place to watch the sunrise, and it has far fewer visitors than Radhanagar. There are simple snack stalls by the sea, and it is good for a stroll and photos. Do not swim when the tide is high, as the waves are strong. Entry is free, and the beach is about 10 km from the jetty.
