Ross Island officially known as Netaji Subhash Chand Bose Island is a very small destination that comes under the south Andaman district, Port Blair and is barely 5 Kms from the Water Sports Complex. This island was also the base for the British Administrator of the penal colony in Port Blair and  was the headquarters of the Indian Penal Settlement for nearly 80 years. It had everything — bazaar, bakery, stores, workshop, water distillation plant, church, tennis court, printing press, secretariat, hospital, cemetery, open air theater and what have you. Today, everything has disappeared except some buildings, which housed some of these landmarks. Also do walk to the other side of the island to Ferar beach and the old jetty . It now lies deserted, and the few signs of its colonial glory, such as the Chief Commissioner's house and the Presbyterian church, are dilapidated and overgrown. The area is now under the control of Indian Navy.
