Karmatang Beach, about 12 km from Mayabunder in North & Middle Andaman, is a serene, uncrowded stretch of sand fringed by casuarinas and mangroves. Known for seasonal turtle nesting, conservation efforts sometimes enable controlled viewing of hatchlings. Basic amenities, calm ambience and scenic sunsets make it ideal for picnics, strolls and quiet beach time. Combine a visit with Mayabunder’s mangrove creeks and nearby islands for an offbeat, nature-focused Andaman itinerary.

Avis Island, a tiny uninhabited isle a short boat ride from Mayabunder in North Andaman, is prized for its powdery white beach, clear turquoise shallows, and swaying coconut groves. Popular as a serene day-trip and picnic spot, it offers postcard views and quiet walks rather than crowds or commercialization. There are no shops or facilities, and access may require local permission, so carry essentials and check with Mayabunder authorities or tour operators before visiting.
