Kalipur Beach is located half-an-hour ahead situated at a distance of 18 kms. from Diglipur and is also known as the Sunrise Beach of Diglipur. This is one of the most loved tourist's spots in Andamans. Primarily known for turtle nesting, it is one of the few beaches in the world. 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.
