About Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep)

Neil Island, officially Shaheed Dweep, is a smaller and more tranquil alternative to Havelock. It is known for its relaxed vibe, secluded beaches, and lush, unexplored coral reefs. The island's beaches are named after characters from the Ramayana: Bharatpur Beach, with its calm, shallow waters, is ideal for swimming and glass-bottom boat rides; Laxmanpur Beach is famous for its spectacular sunsets; and Sitapur Beach is perfect for watching the sunrise. The island's slow pace of life and natural beauty make it an ideal destination for a peaceful getaway.
