It’s the busiest, best-connected island in the archipelago — home to Radhanagar Beach, the diving schools, and the ferry jetty that links you onward to Neil. Officially renamed \u003Cstrong>Swaraj Dweep\u003C/strong> in 2018, though almost everyone (locals, ferry crews, your scuba instructor) still calls it Havelock.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>This guide covers the parts that actually shape your trip: how to get here by ferry, which beaches are worth your time, what to do, when to come, and where to sleep. We move about 70 km of open sea worth of travelers onto this island every week through the Port Blair ferries, so we’ve kept the practical stuff front and center.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"/images/articles/havelock/full/radhanagar-beach-01.webp\" alt=\"Radhanagar Beach, Havelock Island — white sand and turquoise water\">\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"havelock-island-at-a-glance\" tabindex=\"-1\">\u003Ca class=\"header-anchor\" href=\"#havelock-island-at-a-glance\">\u003Cspan>Havelock Island at a Glance\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Havelock sits about 70 km northeast of Port Blair, a 90-minute ferry ride across the open Andaman Sea.

TIME ranked Radhanagar among Asia’s best beaches back in 2004, and the wide arc of white sand still earns it. The sand stays cool underfoot even at midday, the water shelves gently, and there’s no development crowding the treeline.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Come for sunset. Get there by \u003Cstrong>4:30 PM\u003C/strong> to claim a good spot on the sand before the crowd thickens — the light over the water from about 5:15 PM onward is the reason you flew here.

The coral starts close to shore, the water’s shallow and marine-rich, and it doubles as Havelock’s water-sports hub — jet ski, banana boat, sea walking, the lot. You reach it two ways: a 20-minute speedboat from the jetty, or a muddy 2 km forest trek that isn’t worth it in the wet.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Go early.

Havelock has the archipelago’s densest cluster of dive schools, and sites like Nemo Reef put you over clownfish and soft coral within your first few dives. You don’t need certification for a beginner Discover Scuba dive — an instructor takes you down one-on-one.
