Andaman's Best Sunsets: Where to go for Breathtaking Views

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are not only renowned for picturesque beauty, pristine beaches and tranquil ambience, but also for some of the most breathtaking sunsets on the planet. As the sun descends into the horizon, a canvas of colours, ranging from shades of orange and pink to deep hues of purple and blue infuse in sky. With every passing moment, the foamy waves of the sea turn into liquid gold, reflecting the radiant beauty of the setting sun. And as the waves crash against the shore and mingle with the chirping of the birds, a sweet mellifluous sound fills the surrounding. If you want to witness this, we have a list of the 4 best places in Andaman to watch sunset.

Chidiya Tapu


Chidiya Tapu, or the Bird Island, is a hidden gem located on the southernmost tip of South Andaman Island. A paradise for bird lovers and home to a wide variety of native and migratory birds, this enchanting haven is surrounded by dense mangrove forests. The stunning beach of Chidiya Tapu is also known for being the most beautiful spot for sunset in Port Blair. With the ocean encompassing all three sides and the Munda Pahad cliff located at the southern tip, it looks over to the islands of Rutland and Cinque. As the sun sets behind the mountains, the sky turns into a warm, golden hue and the surrounding forest and sea transform into a beautiful silhouette. It's a perfect spot for those who want to escape the hustle-bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature's beauty. This beautiful seascape is situated at a stone's throw distance from Symphony Samudra Beachside Jungle Resort And Spa.

Radhanagar Beach is one of the most sought-after tourist destinations located on the western coast of Havelock Island in the Andaman Islands. Famous for its lovely sunsets, tourists often visit this place for a surreal and enchanting experience. It is also known as Number 7 Beach and was awarded the 'Best Beach in Asia' in 2004. As you walk along the crescent coastline and the soft silver sand, witness the striking hues of yellows and oranges shift to deep reds and pinks, as the sun sets behind the horizon. The beach is adorned with lush green palm trees that offer a stunning backdrop for photographs and, if you're lucky, you may spot some elephants on the beach as well. Head over to the beach after lunch and catch an unforgettable sunset in Andaman.

Sunset Beach at Neil Island
