sitapur beach

This is the most beautiful beach in Neil and is not commercialized at all. It is the most picturesque beach with clean water, smooth sand and a spectacular view. The tour guides and taxi drivers discourage you from going here or spending much time. I'm not sure why (maybe because the high tide gets a rough here) - but our tour guide discouraged us. Anyway, if you appreciate nature and serenity, this is the place to be. The variety of marine life (on the beach) is beautiful. You must stop and enjoy the colours and natural beauty. Must visit!!

The beach though is famous for its natural rock formation, has much more to offer. Not much of a batching beach, owing to the number of corals, the natural rock formation is interesting to look at though I did not find it as awesome as I was made to expect. For those that are a little more adventurous, there actually is another rock formation at the far end of the bridge, where there's a natural arch as well as a cave! The view from there is spectacular since the sea actually funnels in there to make awe-inspiring waves!However, what really fascinated me at this beach was the numerous tide pools that form during low-tide! The variety of marine life that you can see in these tide pools is fantastic - but you will have to have atleast a good 3-4 hours. The fishes hide underneath rocks when they hear you approaching, but if you sit down by one of these pools and wait 5-7 minutes, a whole new world of underwater delights will open up for you - and it is more than worth the wait! Splendidly colored fishes playing around, starfishes wedged underneath rocks, exquisitely colored clams sticking out of rocks, iridescent worms, some fresh living corals, tiny sea-urchins hiding away from sight are common sightings. I even saw a squid swim away!We were so taken by this place that we actually went back the next day to see if we could spot some more of these exquisite creatures.

A very peaceful beach. But make sure you reach this place early morning to watch the sunrise. We had a beautiful morning at this beach :)

Very few people visit this beach. It's good place to witness sunrise is what we heard. However, we were here during afternoon. The curvy nature of the beach makes it a little different from other beaches and very good to click pics. Go here only if you have time else spend more time at Bharatpur or Laxmanpur beaches of Neil.

First thing is you need to travel quite distance to reach to the beach. The beach is isolated and does not have much visitors. If you are planning to visit make sure you care food and water as there are no shops near bby.

Sitapur beach has a Lovely curve. Kind of a semi Circle.It is beautiful beach with hardly any visitors.Wanted to watch the sunrise here but couldn't as it was very cloudy the morning we visited it.

third beach in neil island. just go there, take one two snap. very small beach. and lonely also. looks like no one like to come here.

Laxmanpur Beach is sunset point and this is the Sunrise point. It is better to go early to reach this place. The sunrise is wonderful from here and quieter too.

this place is soooo beutiful,peaceful,it has the healing touches !! got there late in the evening just around sunset,completely bowled by its tranquility. the sunrise point is near this place.so anytime is great for this place i guess,sunrise and sunset ....a must see place for all the andaman tourists !!!

The most beautiful sunrise beach I've seen. deep woods, soft sand, blue waters and raised cliffs - all packed together, fascinating. You cn watch the scenic beauty. Its great to watch the tides constructing and hitting the rocks. You can spent your whole day here :).This beach is not good for swimming or water activities. Reason is first: the waves are very hard and fast. NExt is, the surface is rocky and uneaven. One can fall down easily and hurt himself.

Awesome scenec view but we cant actually get into the water becoz we need to take steps to seashore of this beach.

Average compared to the beaches in Havelock. It's a sunrise point as well. but a really secluded place with clean surroundings.

Though we couldn't reach on time for sunrise but still we enjoyed nicely at this beach. There were not enough people around and that's what I loved the most :D we had a long walk along the shore to enjoy the beauty and calmness of the beach. The trees surrounding the beach adds to the beauty and leave you with extreme tranquility.

This is an attraction for lots of tourists who want to see the sunrise. It's close (everything is close on Neil), you can have a quiet sit and watch the sunrise (some even meditate).

Perhaps the most interesting amongst all this is a must for visitors. Here the waves subside toward the afternoon, revealing the magnificent coral formations and leaving behind some marine treasures. When you reach the main beach huge rock tunnel made due to denudation by the ocean greets your eyes. Small pools can be found amongst the rocky corals in which reside marine organisms like star fishes, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and many others. You can even pick a starfish or two with your fingers. Even the sunset can be viewed from here.
