About

A secluded stretch along the enchantingly emerald sea, Elephant Beach is where you can actually get entertained by trained elephants. Trained in swimming, these gigantic creatures can take you under the water for a mind-blowing snorkelling experience. If serene and intriguing sea waves amuse you at the one end, there is unbound lush green fauna at the other. To top it all, one gets mesmerized by the constant chirping of birds found in huge variety at the island. Apart from snorkelling and bird watching, the beach offers another great adventure of scuba diving. Scale the depth of the sea and discover some extremely enthralling corals. Riding glass-bottom boats can add another dimension to your experience here. Enjoy fresh coconut water, indulge in collecting seashells and the pristine beauty that the place boasts of.
