Chiriya Tapu Beach or Chidiya Tapu is  located 25 kms from Port Blair and  is the southern most tip of South Andaman Islands. The lush green mangroves, forest cover with numerous chirping birds, the white sands and Munda Pahar beaches make it an ideal picnic site.

The forest guest house situated on top of a hillock provides a fabulous view of isolated islands, submerged corals and the breath-taking sunset. It has a good beach.

There is another good beach a little distance south of the village, with some of the best snorkeling on the island. It is a nice place for bird watching. There are good places to camp, and a few small beaches further south.

Conducted tours are available from Andaman Teal House, Port Blair.  There are buses to Chiriya Tapu from Port Blair (every 1½ hours) every few hours. The last bus returns at around 7 pm. You can also reach this place by two wheelers. You can take a boat from this place to to Cinque Island.
