If you have already added Neil Island in your Andaman and Nicobar honeymoon package, you must add Laxmanpur Beach in your checklist. This beach is renowned for its beautiful sunset views.

You might not have heard a lot about this beach, but if you are somebody who truly likes to explore a location, then you must visit this beach before you leave the island. 

Andaman is the only exotic tropical island India has gotten in its map, and the journey to the islands is nothing short of an experience. You can enjoy your coastal holidays at their fullest when you are in Andaman, and to make that journey even more memorable, visit Laxmanpur Beach with your family. 

Where Is Laxmanpur Beach? 

Before we get into the details, let’s discuss the basics, and that is the location. Laxmanpur beach is located in the western part of Neil Island.

The beach is just about 2km from Neil jetty, and near Laxmanpur village. There are two beaches, Laxmanpur 1 and Laxmanpur 2, in the same location, but infamous for different reasons. So if you are booking from an Andaman travel agent, then discuss the location with them prior.  

Why Laxmanpur Beach Is Worth The Visit?

Now that you already know about the location, you must be weighing your options and thinking Why do I even need to visit this beach. So let me give you the reasons why this beach should be included in Andaman packages. 

1. Astonishing Sunset View

If you are booking an Andaman honeymoon package, you probably want good romantic locations to enjoy with your partner, and a scenic romantic sunset beach can fulfil that desire. Laxmanpur Beach 1 is known for its beautiful sunset.

As the beach is located on the western side of the island, when the Sun goes down, it beautifully submerges into the horizon where the sky meets the ocean. 

2. Unique Landscape

The beach has certain unique features which make it one of the most serene locations. The white sand beach is decorated with seashells and even dead corals coming from the waves. Similarly, the rock arch also makes the landscape even more aesthetically appealing. 

3. Calm And Serene Vibe

The beaches in the Neil Islands are less crowded and less commercialized, making it an ideal place to seek peace and tranquility. If you are somebody who does not like to engage with a lot of people and finds solace in peace and calm atmosphere, then this beach is an ideal location for you. 

Things To Do & See At The Beach

Laxmanpur Beach can provide you multiple opportunities to enjoy and celebrate with your loved ones, friends, and families. 

1. Witness The Breathtaking Sunset

The first most interesting thing that you can do on this beach is, of course, watching the beautiful sunset. On the beach, if you walk 500 m west, you will find an absolutely beautiful sunset point which will make your Andaman package worth it. Spotting the best sunset can be the highlight of your whole tour. 

2. Photography

For a camera enthusiast, who is passionate about clicking pictures, this beach can be their paradise. The beautiful Howrah Bridge on the beach can be a great location to take basic landscape photos, portrait photographs of your loved ones, or couple photography.  Sunset, blue water, natural bridge, white sand are ideal silhouettes for photographers. 

3. Snorkelling

While booking Andaman packages, people often look for snorkelling opportunities, and even though most people do snorkelling in Havelock Island, this beach in Neil Island provides a very good scope for enjoying marine life. The calm nature of the water in this beach, the coral patches, and shallow water make it a great location for doing snorkelling. So if you haven’t got time to do snorkelling in Andaman before, you can utilise your time on this beach. 

4. Scuba Diving 

If your plan was to do scuba diving in Havelock, but due to the crowd and full booking failed to seize the opportunity; you can do it in Laxmanpur. Scuba diving on this beach is mostly ideal for beginners as the water is shallow. There is plenty of coral, colourful marine life visible near the beach. So for a beginner level experience, you might wanna consider this location. You can also communicate with your Andaman travel agent to get further information regarding the reliable and reputed operators. 

5. Beachcombing

You can stroll through the beach, take long, beautiful walks during dusk, and admire the seashells and other marine life remains that you can find. Collect them if you wanna keep them as souvenirs from Neil Island.

6. Relaxing

Andaman packages are generally too hectic for one to truly relax. Hopping from one island to the other through Andaman ferry, then exploring that island, again taking a ferry to return, makes the time less relaxing. But you can take your day in Neil island as an opportunity to relax on the Laxmanpur seashore. Sitting, spending leisure time by the sea is one of the most enjoyable experiences that you can have in your vacation. 

7. Exploring The Natural Bridge

The beautifully created natural stone arch on the beach famously known as ‘Howrah Bridge’ is truly a spot you cannot miss. So if you are exploring Andaman, and adding it in honeymoon packages, do not miss this location as it creates a romantic vibe around.
