    You might want to stay at Sea Shell Coral Cove while you’re in Port Blair; it’s close to the jetty and many families say the staff help arrange the ferry tickets. After the ferry, the kids can try a short snorkeling session with the calm reef just bring a mask and snorkel, no gear rental needed. Also, the beach has a shallow lagoon that’s perfect for building sandcastles or a quick paddle. If you’re looking for a quiet spot, the lagoon is usually less crowded in the early afternoon.
