Popular as the loveliest beach in Middle Andaman Island, Dhani Nallah is a five kilometer-long stretch of brownish soft sand. The color of the water here is blue and there is abundant shadow along the shore. The beach is deserted at most of the times. So, you can have the whole place to yourself. The tides don’t affect swimming. Just jump into the water whenever you want. It is quite windy here, so the beach has a great potential to become an ideal windsurfing spot. If you want to do that, then you will have to bring your own equipment as no windsurfing facilities are available there at present. There are lush casuarina trees all around with benches and sunbeds. Thus, you can have a picnic in the shadow and pleasant weather. If you want to enjoy the view of the whole beach, then there is a bamboo tower from where you can have a look at the entire place. There are swings as well. Facilities here are limited though. So make sure that you carry all the necessary stuff with you.
