Known for its vibrant coral reefs, clear waters, and exciting water sports, North Bay is a perfect combination of natural beauty, marine life, and history.

Geographical Importance

North Bay lies just northeast of Port Blair, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Bay of Bengal. The island is part of a group of smaller islets that serve as protective covers around South Andaman. It is considered a vital area for marine biodiversity and coral growth. 🌊

Its iconic lighthouse, perched on a small hill, has not only served as a navigational aid for ships but also became famous after being printed on the back of the old Indian ₹20 currency note – making it a historical symbol of the island. 💡

Historical Significance

While North Bay Island is not known for any wars or colonial settlements like Ross Island, it played a supportive role during British rule as part of the marine and supply route to Port Blair. British ships frequently anchored around North Bay while entering Port Blair harbor. The surrounding waters were also used for maritime training, navigation, and mapping during the colonial period.

The lighthouse built during the British era still stands tall and operational, guiding ships safely to the Port Blair harbor. It remains a historical structure, offering scenic views of the sea, nearby islands, and Mount Harriet. 📜

In modern times, North Bay became one of the first islands in the Andamans to open up for regulated tourism, especially marine adventure activities. Government efforts have helped preserve the coral reefs, while tourism agencies like Andaman Pradhan Tour and Travels have promoted eco-tourism and sustainable travel practices. ♻️
