The Radhanagar beach is in South Andaman district and is very popular with both domestic and foreign tourists.

The Blue flag certification is a globally recognised eco-label accorded by FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education), Denmark, based on 33 stringent criteria under four major heads – environmental education and information, bathing water quality, environmental management and conservation and safety and services at the beaches.

Blue flag beach is an eco-tourism model endeavouring to provide the tourists or beachgoers clean and hygienic bathing water, safe and healthy environment and sustainable development of the area.
