ROSS AND SMITH ISLAND
Nestled within the boundaries of Diglipur Island in the North Andaman District, you'll discover the mesmerizing Ross and Smith Island, a true gem of the Andaman archipelago. To embark on your journey to Ross and Smith Island, you'll need to arrange for a fiber speed boat from Ariel Bay Jetty. The boat ride takes approximately 30 minutes and treats you to stunning coastal views along the way. It's worth noting that a permit from the forest department is required to visit this captivating island. Ross and Smith Island is often referred to as "Brother and Sister Island," and for a good reason. What makes this place extraordinary is the natural white sandbar that connects these two islands. During high tide, the sandbar is submerged beneath the turquoise waters, creating a picturesque separation. However, when the tide recedes, the sandbar reemerges, restoring the visual spectacle of the two connected islands. The shallow and crystal-clear waters surrounding the island are ideal for swimming and relaxation, and the area is a paradise for sunbathers, offering a perfect setting for a truly amazing experience. Ross and Smith Island, with its unique charm, is a must-visit destination for those seeking the beauty and tranquility of the Andaman Islands.
