The Natural Rock Bridge & Enchanting Low-Tide Reef Walks

About Laxmanpur Beach

Famous for its distinctive living coral rock arch (Howrah Bridge) and expansive shell-strewn sunset beach on Neil Island.

Laxmanpur Beach on Neil Island is divided into two distinct sections: Laxmanpur Beach 1, a long stretch of white sand known for majestic sunsets, and Laxmanpur Beach 2, a rocky tidal zone containing the famous Natural Rock Bridge. At low tide, the sea retreats to expose a vast intertidal coral garden teeming with sea cucumbers, starfish, giant clams, and small crabs.
