Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)
Havelock Island, officially Swaraj Dweep, holds the beaches people actually came for. The island is small and the distances are deceptive: Radhanagar is 12 km from the jetty, Kalapathar 11 km the other way, and there is no meaningful public transport. These guides carry the current cab fares, timings and what facilities actually exist on each beach.

How to use this guide hub
Build Havelock around the ferry first, then the hotel and activities. Radhanagar is strongest as an unhurried sunset outing, Kalapathar suits an earlier quiet window, and Elephant Beach depends on boat and weather operations. Leaving every beach for one packed day creates more cab time and less time in the water.
Recheck before travel
- Confirmed ferry operator, seat, departure jetty and reporting time in both directions.
- Weather and operator confirmation for snorkelling, kayaking, scuba or sea-walk plans.
- Cab pickup details, because the jetty, Radhanagar and Kalapathar are not walkable from one another.
