About Ross & Smith Island
Ross and Smith Islands near Diglipur are joined by a shifting sandbar that appears with the tide, one of North Andaman's most iconic sights. Clear shallow waters and empty beaches make it a bucket-list day trip.
Our North Andaman packages include Diglipur stays, permits and boat transfers so you experience the sandbar at the best tide of the day.
The sandbar is tidal, timing matters. On a good day you can walk between the twin islands with turquoise water on both sides, swim in shallow lagoons and enjoy beaches that still feel remote compared with South Andaman.
Because Diglipur is farther north, we usually recommend this stop on longer itineraries. Our packages cover road travel, Diglipur lodging, forest permissions and boat schedules so you reach Ross & Smith when the sandbar is at its best.
Highlights
- Natural sandbar walk between twin islands
- Crystal-clear lagoons for swimming & photos
