Kalipur Beach is a turtle nesting ground and blessed with four rare species of sea turtles including Olive Ridley, Green turtles, Hawks Bill, Leather Black. For this purpose, the government has built a hatchery there and if lucky you can witness both turtles laying their eggs (late at night) or baby turtles being set free into the sea (early morning).The Kalipur Beach has volcanic grey coloured sand and crystal clear water. This makes it perfect for swimming. During low tide the beach looks sullen with dead corals breaking the surface and some mangrove trees embracing the shore. Jellyfish are also found in abundance. To visit the island, you need to commit at least 3 days of your tour. It will take you approximately one day to reach the island by road through the Andaman Grand Trunk Road
