Wandoor jetty and beach

Wandoor jetty and beach

Located in the Andaman Islands, India, about 40 kilometers south of Port Blair, Wandoor jetty and beach occupies a strategic position on the east coast of South Andaman Island. The region is characterized by the turquoise waters of the Bay of Bengal, bordered by dense mangroves and tropical forests that descend to the shore. The surrounding coastline alternates between white sandy beaches and rock formations, with a succession of small coves and rocky headlands typical of this semi-protected coastal area. The Wandoor jetty is the focal point of the site, providing direct access to the shallow, crystal-clear waters. In the immediate vicinity, New Wandoor is only 200 meters away, forming a coherent coastal ensemble where both sites share a similar exposure and comparable visitor numbers. The site offers an atmosphere of relative calm, far from the tourist bustle of Port Blair, with direct access to seabeds suitable for observation. The adjacent beach has a gentle profile, ideal for swimmers seeking calm waters and satisfactory underwater visibility. Wandoor jetty and beach does not have Blue Flag certification and benefits from no official supervision. The absence of formal facilities—toilets, showers, or dining services—reflects the relatively preserved character of the site. Access remains limited for people with reduced mobility, with the jetty being the only developed entry point. The site is particularly popular with divers and snorkelers due to its proximity to the coral reefs of the nearby marine park.
