Description

Although its shoreline is not as rich or popular like the neighbor Havelock, Neil has its own special appeal. Neil is also famous for white shores and coral reefs. The beaches are named after the mythical characters of an epic "Ramayana".
Neill Island was uninhabited until the landing of pilgrims in the late 1960s. With a lot of marine life, Neil Island rose to popularity with its stunning green surroundings of paddy fields, banana manors, and tropical trees apart from the colorful coral reefs and its unique white shores. Head out to Neil Island and enjoy the time losing yourself in nature.
