Elephant beach can be approached mainly through water (boat) Rs 1000 per person from Havelock jetty ( 30 minute waiting and 15 min boat ride) Or through a walking trail 30-45 min (starting from enroute point of Radhanagar beach). It is not a peaceful beach, However its full of water sports activities. Our favourite was para sailing. Food: Cup o Noodles, samosa, Jhal Moori(akin to bhel puri), fruit chaat and water. Thats it. Paid. : Changing rooms, lockers and washrooms available. Activities: Snorkeling, Para Sailing, Jet ski, Glass bottom boat, Banana boat rides. My kid (8 yrs old boy) loved the rides. We left at 11 am from hotel room and were back in room by 4 pm. Exhausted (Sun and activities). Plan accordingly

Elephant beach can be reached by boat or by Trek at Havelock Island. Both the ways to reach Elephant beach and the boat ride starts at Havelock Island jetty .The trekking point starts close to the Radhanagar beach and its a 2.5 Km trek from Radhanagar to Elephant beach through pristine tropical jungle forrest and finally passing through a mangrove forest to reach the beach. I had opted for the treacherous trek route through ankle deep mud and slippery hill slopes . Guides are available at Rs 500/return trip to the beach and thanks to my guide Sujoy.Mondal and my pair of walking sticks that i completed the trek both ways.. Most of the travelers visit this place in a boat.Elephant beach is very famous for the variety of untouched corals and rich marine life with diverse species. The coral reefs of this beach start about a meter or two from the beach and i did spot vibrant corals and schools of colorful fish swimming around .Sea walking is a unique activity in the Andaman Islands and this activity is available at Elephant beach. Sea walk is the first of its kind in India and you can get this done at Havelock Island.Havelock Elephant beach got its name from Elephants that used to roam in the vicinity of the beach decades ago when elephants were used for timber logging on Havelock and nearby Islands.

Gobonly if you like to do water activities. We did sea walk, snorkeling, glass bottom ride and other rides. Boat provides complimentary snorkeling but one can opt to go in deep sea with extra charge. The arrangement and divers are so talented, even non swimmer like us enjoyed every bit. 3 hours is given for boat passengers. Last boat is around 1pm and activities close by 3pm. Starts by 8:30am depending upon weather conditions.

Water sports at elephant beach are very expensive as compared to other beaches in India. However if with kids its a good destination to do water sports. Some water sorts unique to that region can be explored. Like mini submarine and sea walk. Rest can be done other places in India at a much cheaper rate. However the activities there are well managed. Locker facility is also available. The boat ride to elephant beach is also very expensive

This is a good beach for water sports. You can reach this beach via a boat ride or via trekking. I reached via a boat from havelock jetty. This jetty is a crowded place filled with so many agents/vendors etc. There are people/stalls selling tickets for various water sports, which can be used at elephant beach. Most of these tickets/vouchers can be refunded (some fully, some partially) in case you later decide not to take part in water sports. The boat ride costs Rs.1000 per person (snorkeling is complimentary with boat ticket). It's free for small kids/infants. The elephant beach has very fine sand. Due to lots of water sports happening left and right, this is not a beach to just sit and relax. There are small shacks/stores selling food, coconuts, drinks etc. As usual (at any typical touristic place), prices of items are double the normal rates. Water sports include glass-bottom-ride, Sea walk, jet ski etc. There is locker facility in this beach. There are changing rooms/toilets on the beach. However, due to lack of electricity, the rooms are typically dark.

Nice place for water sports and a must visit for sea walking . Snorkeling, para sailing, adventure water sports.cost is high but may be worth it. Time limit of 3 hours means 2 days to try all activities
