Havelock Island spreads across 100 sq km and is the largest island after South Andaman. Most of the island is covered with thick rain forest, while the area around the beach and the main market is inhabited. Though Havelock is a small island, it still has about six villages and seven stunning beaches. The beaches at Havelock are numbered. Radhanagar Beach (also called Beach #7) is located in the village of Radhanagar, and was rated as the best beach in Asia by the Time Magazine in 2004.
