Sitapur beach in Neil Island
At the tip of the island, about 5km from the market is beach No. 5. Also known as the โsunrise beachโ Sitapur beach is famous for the breathtaking sunrise view in the early morning. This postcard-perfect serene beach has two curved bays and clear blue waters which is just like an imagination come true for photography lovers.
Due to its location, it is prone to higher tides and stronger currents, thus making it not much suitable for swimming.

At low tide, one can walk to the second bay and explore small caves or just enjoy the tranquility of this beach.
How to reach?
