The Story

At low tide, a natural sandbar emerges connecting Ross and Smith Islands, letting you walk between two islands with open water on either side — one of the more photogenic sights in North Andaman.

Far fewer travelers make it this far north, so the beaches here stay noticeably quieter than their South Andaman counterparts.

How to Get There

Reached by a short boat ride from Aerial Bay jetty, near Diglipur.

Travel Tips

  • Check tide timings before you go — the sandbar is only walkable at low tide
  • Diglipur is a long road journey from Port Blair, so most travelers break the trip with an overnight stop in Rangat
