Address: Bottom of Mount Harriet: North Bay Island.

Visit to North Bay Island for Snorkelling

We went to North Bay island for snorkelling. The place is at the foothills of Mount Harriet. You need to travel to this place by boat from Port Blair, it takes about an hour to reach there. The boat is parked little away( about 1/2 mile) from the beach as the water is shallow there. Then they carry you in a glass bottom boat to the shore. Expert swimmers are avilable with snorkelling gear and they also provide a lifebuoy to help you to keep afloat. Fee is Rs.300/- to Rs700/-( USD$ 6- 16) depending upon how much deep he takes to to show corals and sea animals. We could see many corals, various types and lot of fishes and small sea creatures. I think I went about 75meters from the shore, with the swimmer.

It was great fun.

Corbyn's Cove Beach

Corbyn's Cove, is about 7 kms away from the city of Port Blair. It is small but very clean beach and safe for swimming and sun basking. It is situated just opp Peerless Sarovar hotel and having facility of changing. Historical remains like Japanese bunkers are near by.

We reached this place near evening so we had to sikp the Japanese Bunkers. But the place is really beautiful.
