Ross and Smith
Ross and Smith Islands
The most beautiful sight to behold at North Andaman is the majestic twin islands of Ross and Smith connected by a thin fifty-meter long sand bar. This silky white sand bar descends inside the sea at times of high tide and surfaces up again during low tide. The bar divides the shallow swimming area into both sides. The warm waters are crystal clear and the untamed virgin beaches are the most picture-perfect ones you will see on the islands.
The best part is that the beach is seldom crowded and most of the time you can cherish the whole sight by yourself. Tropical forests surround the beach and if you are lucky enough you can see wild deer there – big in size and dark in color as mentioned by the locals. I haven’t seen it though. Smith Island has limited facilities – spacious bamboo huts with plenty of shade, changing rooms and toilets can be found.
I have been to Miami and Key West beaches (Florida, USA) and also fortunate to be in Puerto Rico beaches. All those beaches are great. Especially some Puerto Rico beaches are awesome for their wilderness. But, this little Ross and Smith beach stole my heart for its pristine characteristic, wilderness, and openness.
