Latest reviews on Kilinochchi's beaches

Thaalayadi Beach
10 Sarai 59

This location is a must-visit for those seeking a tranquil beach experience. However, it is not recommended for families with young children or individuals who are under the influence or uncomfortable with deep waters. Unfortunately, the beach has been polluted with plastic waste, which detracts from its natural beauty. In 2004, a devastating tsunami struck the area, resulting in the destruction of over 1,000 families' homes. The evidence of this tragedy can still be seen today, with a large burial ground located just a few meters from the beach. The foundations of the destroyed homes are also visible. During our visit, we were able to witness the impact of the tsunami on a boat that had been washed ashore. Despite the tragic history of the area, the beach remains a picturesque destination for those seeking a serene escape.

Kallady Beach
6 Sunnyvale Rise

This tranquil beach provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the sea, sun, birds, boats, and dunes. Unfortunately, there are no amenities such as food, lodging, or water for travelers who come from afar. However, a few Tamil and Sinhalese-speaking civilians reside in the area. To fully enjoy the ride or tour, it is recommended to use an off-road vehicle due to the sinking sand and damaged roads. There are several other attractions in the vicinity, including a fort built by the Portuguese to safeguard their possessions in Jaffna, which was later captured by the Dutch. Sand dunes offer an exhilarating off-roading experience, while birdwatchers can spot an array of sea birds, kites, hawks, and more. The beach is also an excellent spot for private camping, but it is essential to bring all necessary supplies. Other nearby attractions include Upplavan Lagoon, perfect for bird watching, Pallukudu marshy land, and an oil palm plantation. At the end of the road, visitors can enjoy a stunning view of Jaffna town, Jatty, and a church.
