The beach is divided into two sections: Beach No. 1, the main sunset-viewing area, and Beach No. 2, where there is the Natural Bridge. The Bridge is a naturally formed arch of coral and rock and is best visited during low tide. There are also shallow reef pools around the bridge, where you can spot starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, small fish, crabs, and colourful corals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Activities:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sunset watching, photography, beach walks, the Natural Bridge, and observing marine life in the shallow reef pools are the best experiences here. Water sports are not permitted at Laxmanpur Beach. Swimming is also not recommended because the shoreline has rocks and dead coral.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Beach No. 1 Timings &amp; Tips:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For sunset, visit around 3:30 &#8211; 4:00 PM so you have enough time to relax and walk around before settling down for the evening view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Beach No. 2 Timings &amp; Tips:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Visit Beach No. 2 during low tide if you want to see the Natural Bridge and marine life. Check the local tide timings before leaving. Avoid stepping on or touching marine creatures and corals, and do not collect coral or shells from the beach; it is a serious criminal offence in the Andaman Islands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.

The beach also faces Snake Island, a famous scuba-diving spot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Activities: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jet skiing, parasailing, banana boat rides and speed boating are popular here.

If you plan to visit the rocky or cave-like sections, check the tide timing first and ask a local guide or beach in-charge about current conditions. The tide can rise quickly and reach the cliffside areas, making some sections difficult to cross.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8.

Also visit the nearby Biological Park Chidiyatapu; it is a rainforest sanctuary where there are saltwater crocodiles, Andaman wild pigs, barking deer, and monitor lizards. However, swimming is not recommended at Chidiya Tapu Beach because the shoreline is rocky and the water has strong currents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Timings &amp; Tips<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: For birdwatching, arrive in the early morning around 6:00 AM. For trekking the Munda Pahar trail, arrive by 2:00 PM to finish the 3-km forest walk before the trail gate closes at 4:00 PM. For the sunset, arrive between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM to secure a good viewing spot before the crowd comes. Make sure to pre-arrange a round-trip cab from Port Blair, as no return rides or mobile networks are available after dark.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9.
