Flag Point Sightseeing Detail

Flag Point sits just by Marina Park in Port Blair, and honestly, it’s one of those places that hits you with real pride the moment you arrive. Back in 1943, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose chose this exact spot to raise the Indian flag—a bold move right in the thick of the freedom struggle. That moment turned Flag Point into a piece of living history.

These days, the place looks great. There’s a smooth walkway, good lighting, and the sea stretches out, calm and inviting. In the evenings, people wander in for a breath of fresh air and end up standing a while, just watching the tricolour fluttering high above everything else.

You’ll find boards around that lay out what really happened here, which pulls you right into the story of Andaman’s part in India’s independence. It’s not just a spot for a quick photo; it’s a place that feels important. If you’re in town, NewWay Andaman Tours and Travels actually takes people here as part of their city tour. It’s a solid mix of history, pride, and a pretty great view—all in one stop.
