The Lighthouse: A Landmark of Havelock Island
Located on the northern end of Havelock Island, the Lighthouse is an iconic structure that not only helps in navigation but also adds a unique charm to the island’s coastal beauty. Surrounded by pristine waters and soft sands, this area offers a quieter, less commercialized alternative to the popular Radhanagar and Elephant beaches.
What makes the Lighthouse at Havelock truly special is the combination of natural serenity and thrilling adventure it offers. Whether you’re here to relax or seeking an adrenaline rush, this spot has something for everyone.
Water Sports at Lighthouse Beach
The calm, clear waters around the Lighthouse make it a perfect location for water sports. Here’s a look at the thrilling activities you can experience:
1. Jet Skiing
Feel the wind in your hair as you speed across the crystal-clear waters. Jet skiing near the Lighthouse gives you a panoramic view of the island’s coastline while offering the thrill of high-speed adventure.
2. Snorkeling
The underwater life around Havelock Island is nothing short of spectacular. Snorkeling at Lighthouse Beach allows you to explore vibrant coral reefs and encounter marine creatures like clownfish, sea cucumbers, and even turtles in their natural habitat.
3. Banana Boat Ride
If you’re traveling with a group, the banana boat ride is a fun and exciting activity. Hold on tight as a speedboat pulls the inflatable banana-shaped boat across the sea, bouncing over waves and bringing laughter to all riders.
4. Scuba Diving (Nearby Sites)
While not directly at the Lighthouse, several nearby diving centers offer beginner and advanced scuba diving experiences. This is your chance to dive deeper into the underwater world and witness marine biodiversity up close.
5. Sea Walking
Sea walking is a unique experience offered at selected locations on Havelock. You walk on the ocean floor with a specially designed helmet that allows you to breathe normally. It’s a surreal way to explore the underwater world without needing to swim.
