A 10km, 1½-hour trek through the jungle leads to secluded Lalaji Bay, a beautiful white-sand east-coast beach with good swimming and snorkelling; follow the arrows from the jetty, or arrange a guide (₹1000) through Blue Planet. Hiring a boat (₹5000 per small group) is also an option. You'll need a permit (free) from the Forest Office near the jetty.
