The gentle lapping of waves against a quiet shore greets you at Aerial Bay Beach, a tranquil escape nestled near the bustling Aerial Bay Jetty. This isn't just another beach; it's Diglipur's authentic coastal embrace, offering a unique perspective away from the well-trodden paths to Ross & Smith Islands. OnlyBeaches rates this calm haven an OBI score of 7.8, recognizing its understated beauty and strategic importance as a local hub.

The beach itself is characterized by its calm, inviting waters, perfect for a gentle wade or a refreshing dip. The sand, a soft mix near the shoreline, gives way to a more textured seabed, making it ideal for those who prefer a relaxed aquatic experience over crashing surf. It’s a place where the pace slows, inviting contemplation and connection with the Andaman Sea's quiet rhythms.
For the best experience, visit during the late afternoon to witness the sky ignite in a spectacular display of colors as the sun dips below the horizon – a truly unforgettable sunset spot. This beach is particularly suited for travelers seeking a peaceful retreat, photographers chasing golden hour magic, and those looking to immerse themselves in local island life before embarking on further adventures. A local tip: the jetty area is an excellent spot to arrange boat trips to nearby islands, often at more local rates than through larger tour operators.
