Description

Morrice Dera Beach is one of the most pristine beaches located near Diglipur in North Andaman. Surrounded by lush greenery and coastal forests, the beach offers a calm and natural environment far from busy tourist areas. The beach is particularly famous as a nesting ground for sea turtles, including the endangered Olive Ridley Sea Turtle. During the nesting season, which usually occurs between December and February, female turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on the sandy beach. Conservation efforts are carried out in the area to protect the nests and ensure the survival of turtle hatchlings. Visitors sometimes have the rare opportunity to witness the incredible moment when baby turtles emerge from the sand and make their way toward the sea. Morrice Dera Beach features a long stretch of soft sand, clear sea water, and dense tropical surroundings, making it an excellent location for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers seeking peace and solitude. The beach is located about 20 kilometers from Diglipur town and can be reached by road. It is often visited along with other attractions in the region such as Ross and Smith Islands. With its ecological importance, peaceful atmosphere, and scenic beauty, Morrice Dera Beach is considered one of the hidden natural treasures of North Andaman.
