Cutbert Bay Beach
Cutbert Bay is a Wildlife Sanctuary and is known as one of the most important turtle nesting beaches in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Turtles come to the beach only to lay eggs They dig a pit, lay eggs and go back to the sea. This event takes during the night. In the Sanctuary the turtles come on the beach almost every single night during the season. One can see the turtles laying eggs when they come to the beach for nesting. The process of the turtle egg transfer to the hatchery can be enjoyed and one may get a chance to release the turtle hatchlings in the sea and contribute to the ongoing marine turtle conservation efforts.
Cutbert Bay Beach is mostly visited by Olive Ridley Turtle. Green Sea Turtles often visit this beach and Hawksbill and Leatherback turtles have also been reported to visit occasionally.
