Top Attractions in Port Blair
💡 Come on a Friday evening when street performers often appear. Bargain firmly but politely at the stalls – prices are higher for tourists. Try the roasted coconut.
💡 Go early morning to beat crowds and heat; the sound-and-light show in the evening costs extra but is worth it.
💡 Come around 16:00 for cooler weather and sunset views across the bay. The snack kiosks sell good coconut water and samosas.
💡 The entry fee is minimal (₹50 for adults). Go early; it gets crowded after 11am. The small souvenir shop sells decent shell crafts.
💡 Allow 45 minutes; the best bits are the life-size tribal dioramas upstairs. No photography allowed inside.
