Craggy Island

Andaman Islands


A speck of an island off Kalipur Beach, Craggy is a good spot for snorkelling. Very strong swimmers can make it across, in good conditions only (flippers recommended); otherwise, a small motorised boat (₹3000 return) runs here from Aerial Bay, on the road from Diglipur to Kalipur.

Boats don't operate if the weather is bad and seas are rough.
