Little Andaman

Little Andaman, called Gaubolambe in the Onge language, ranks fourth in size among the Andaman Islands, at 707 square kilometres. It sits at the southern end of the chain, roughly 88 km south of Port Blair and across the Duncan Passage from Rutland Island. The island is low-lying and largely covered in rainforest, and several rare marine turtles are found along its coast.

Boats from Port Blair take about seven hours to reach the deep-water wharf at Hut Bay on the east coast, while helicopters and seaplanes make the trip in around forty minutes. Visitors come for surfing, boat rides through the creeks, waterfalls and an elephant logging plantation. Butler Bay, a beach 14 km from the Hut Bay jetty, draws people for coral viewing and surfing, Netaji Nagar Beach lies 11 km from the same jetty, and Richardson's Lighthouse stands at the southern tip.
