Carbyn's Cove Beach
PortBlair
Introduction
One of the most notable highlights of visiting Corbyn's Cove is the journey itself. The 15-minute journey from town winds along the Marina Park Sea Road, offering a highly scenic coastal drive flanked by the open ocean on one side and lush tropical hillsides on the other.
Along this route, visitors can spot historical Japanese Bunkers left behind from World War II, which stand as remnants of the wartime occupation of the islands. Just across the horizon, you can also view Snake Island, a rocky offshore islet famed among divers for its rich marine life and scuba diving spots
Highlights
-
The Scenic Coastal Drive: The journey to the beach along the Marina Park Sea Road is spectacular, offering cliffside views of the turquoise ocean. -
World War II Japanese Bunkers: Located right on the approach roads and near the beach, these preserved pillboxes offer a quick glimpse into the island’s wartime history.
