Vijay Nagar Beach in Havelock is a long stretch of sand on the east coast of the island, occasionally dotted by sections of rock.

These trees have lent a distinct character to the seafront and provide shade, close to the water. Vijay Nagar Beach is perfect for long walks along the sea. Our Silver Sand Beach Resort is located on this beach!
