Southern Andaman Coast beaches








I made it down to the southern beaches right before the early monsoon season started. I was initially met with beautiful weather and great snorkelling. (Thanks for the mask and snorkel Laura!) The water was an unbelievable blue and the beaches were actually so clean they squeaked when you walked on them. I was in Ko Turatao National Park which included Adang Island where the snorkeling was the best. There are longtail boats that transport you from island to island. I thought the design of them was quite brilliant as the rudder is agile without hitting the delicate coral. And they can come up right on the beach. It was a bit tricky lugging my backpacks off and on them but it helped to be barefoot for the haul.
On the snorkelling trip, we stopped at a beach with striped rocks that carries a warning that to take the rocks from the beach will curse you. All I know that once I took the photo of the rocks, my lens cap flew out of my hand and was broken.
