Karmatang Beach is a scenic coastal destination near Mayabunder in North and Middle Andaman. Surrounded by tropical greenery and a relatively quiet coastline, it offers visitors a peaceful beach experience away from the busier tourist centres of the Andaman Islands.

The beach is particularly important for its connection with marine turtle conservation. Karmatang is known as a settling and nesting ground for several species of marine turtles, including leatherback, green, hawksbill and olive ridley turtles. This makes the area especially interesting for visitors who want to experience the natural and ecological side of the Andaman Islands.

The surrounding coastline and clear waters also make Karmatang an attractive destination for nature lovers and photographers. The area is being developed as a visitor destination, with potential for activities such as snorkelling and scuba diving, subject to current facilities, weather conditions and applicable regulations.

Karmatang is best enjoyed at a relaxed pace. Visitors can walk along the shore, enjoy the surrounding landscape and spend time observing the natural environment. During the appropriate turtle nesting season, the area becomes particularly significant for wildlife enthusiasts, although visitors should never disturb nesting turtles, hatchlings or nesting sites.

Visitors should follow local instructions and avoid littering, loud activity near wildlife and any disturbance to the beach ecosystem.
