In India, there are numerous unexplored places and beaches especially in Andaman Islands. Andaman & Nicobar Islands are a real treat for beach lovers. These islands provide many untouched seashores and one of them is Ross & Simth Island. I was lucky to explore this twin islands in my trip to Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Ross & Smith Island is 30 minutes away via boat journey from Aerial bay jetty or Kalipur water sports centre.
The greenish blue water and white sands looked amazing from ferry. The view of beach was EXTREMELY mesmerizing!!! The beach was unexplored, exotic and serene. It was difficult to believe that India has such a beautiful white sand beach. The scenery is beautiful all along and water is crystal clear. It has all the natural ingredients of tropical paradise. There is a lagoon side and a sea side to the beach. The serene environment and the scenic beauty was spell bounding me.
The unique feature of this twin islands is that they are connected by a sand bridge which is visible only in the low tide. During high tide they get separated by crystal clear sea water. I reached Ross Islands during low tide and I was able to walk across this sand bridge to reach the Smith Island. Ross and Smith, the twin islands joined by a wide range of sand bar is gorgeous spot.
Below snap is taken from Smith Island as the high tide was setting in. You can see in snap how the waters from both ends cut across the divide, meeting each other eagerly. It was a treat to watch this water merger and how these islands get separated from each other in high tide.
Its beaches are suitable for swimming, snorkeling and it is surrounded by coral reefs. It was a life time experience to do snorkeling in this beautiful beach. While snorkeling, I could see each reef row seemed to have its own kind of fish to look at the various shapes and the incredible colorations of tropical fish.
After enjoying for 5 hours in this picturesque beach, it was the time for me to return but this tropical paradise has surely stolen my heart at the very first sight. It’s a must- see place for all the beach lovers.
