Discover the Historic German Jetty
A quiet waterfront landmark reflecting Mayabunder's wartime history

German Jetty is a historic waterfront landmark in Mayabunder, North and Middle Andaman. Unlike the region's beaches and natural attractions, the jetty offers visitors an opportunity to explore a lesser-known part of the islands' wartime and colonial history.

According to the North and Middle Andaman District Administration, the jetty was constructed by German engineers during World War II and was associated with the Axis-era occupation of the Andaman Islands. Its location near the APWD Guest House makes it a convenient historical stop while exploring Mayabunder.

Today, the site includes an observation deck and remains of Japanese wartime bunkers. These surviving structures provide a glimpse into the strategic importance of the Andaman Islands during the Second World War and add a historical dimension to a visit to Mayabunder.

The surroundings are relatively quiet, making the jetty suitable for visitors interested in history, photography and coastal scenery. It is not a large monument complex, so the attraction is best experienced as a short sightseeing stop combined with other destinations around Mayabunder.

Visitors should treat the historic structures with care and avoid climbing on or damaging old ruins. The site is part of the region's heritage and is best appreciated without disturbing the remaining structures.

How to reach: German Jetty is located in Mayabunder and can be reached by road. Regular government and private bus services operate through the Andaman Trunk Road network, while private vehicles and taxis provide another convenient option.

Best for: History enthusiasts, photographers, heritage travelers, families and visitors interested in the wartime history of the Andaman Islands.
