Highlights
- 32ft Shiva Statue: Unveiled in 2026 beside Hornbill Nest Resort, a short walk from Corbyn's Cove Beach. Sculptor Raghesh Sasi spent roughly a year and a half on the piece, choosing muted grey stone tones deliberately so the statue would blend into the surrounding sea and rocks rather than stand starkly apart from them. A trident with flowing drapery gives the figure a sense of motion against the coastal backdrop.
- Corbyn's Cove Beach: A small, palm-fringed curve of sand — the closest beach to Port Blair city, backed by coconut palms with the open sea beyond.
Plan Your Visit
- Getting There: About 6–8km south of central Port Blair — a scenic coastal drive, roughly ₹150 by autorickshaw.
- Facilities: Food shacks, changing rooms, and lockers are available at the beach.
- Best Time: Late afternoon into sunset, when the beach is at its most photogenic and the day's heat has eased.
