As you step onto Elephant Beach, the first question that might pop into your mind is, "Why is it called Elephant Beach?" There is no definitive answer, but some sources say it is due to the fact that elephants were used to bring visitors to the beach, which meant elephants were a regular sighting in the area.

Getting There:


Elephant Beach is not your average beach where you can simply stroll from your hotel. To reach this hidden gem, you have two options - take a boat ride or embark on a trek. The boat ride is a popular choice as it offers a scenic journey through the azure waters of the Andaman Sea. Alternatively, the trek to Elephant Beach, Havelock, is an adventure in itself, allowing you to immerse in the island's natural beauty through lush forests.
