The infamous Cellular Jail, declared a National Memorial in 1979, is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting Andaman. The light and sound show in the evening recounts the heartbreaking stories of the prisoners who were once held captive here.
Once the administrative headquarters of the Andaman Islands during the British Raj, Ross Island is now a ghostly reminder of the bygone era. The island's ruins including a church, hospital and a ballroom will intrigue your kids and give them a sense of history. Take a guided tour and enjoy the island's scenic beauty and animals.
Arguably the best beach on the Andaman Islands, Radhanagar Beach is a perfect spot for a relaxing family day out. The clear blue waters, powdery white sands, and the sunset views from the beach will make your trip to Andaman worth it.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park for a day full of water sports activities and an interaction with rare marine life. Families traveling with toddlers should skip Ross Island and consider the Samudrika Marine Museum instead, which features informative exhibits on the marine life of the Andaman Islands.
If you have less time, skip Radhanagar Beach or Cellular Jail National Memorial. Cellular Jail National Memorial is an iconic historical place and you will regret not visiting it.
