Beach rock is a peculiar formation when compared to other types of rock formations. It is found in many places in the world and a few places in India. One such formation is found in Andaman and Nicobar Island of India. It needs intensive and extensive investigation on its formation. The present work aimed to collect the beach rock samples along the Coast of Andaman Island and subjected to mineral analysis using spectroscopic techniques. The presence of mineral in beach rock samples is identified by FT-IR spectroscopic technique. The constituents of minerals present in the beach rocks are further confirmed by XRD technique. Both FT-IR and XRD techniques reveals the mineral composition and cementing minerals in beach rocks of Andaman Island, India. Results are discussed and the conclusions are drawn.
