Lucky you! There is a coral wonder quite close to Port Blair—your point of arrival and departure to these islands. But before we could jump into our shorts and learn how to use snorkeling gear, a peep into the hotel.
While Port Blair (named after Lt. Archibald Blair who came here on behalf of the East India Company) has several of those typically small Indian hotels, if you want to savor the sea,
you ought head straight for the ones at Corbyn’s Cove.
Not that the other hotels cannot give you a whiff of sea breeze (the sea being, in some form or another, quite unavoidable here). But if you wish to get yourself a large slice of beach, sun and surf, topped with a nice tan, a cool coconut and the other earthly comforts like snorkeling, boat rides, parties on board and even deep-sea diving, the hotels at Corbyn’s Cove are highly recommended.
