Nice beach located at the top of the country. Perfect venue to spend an evening with some Palmyrah toddy. Entrance to the area closes at 6.30 pm therefore its preferred to plan out the trip and adhere to its operating hours.

Without doubt the best beach in jaffna. Really nice and calm beach with lesser waves which makes it easier to have a warm bath in sea water. Perfect spot to enjoy nothern sunset in the island. From jaffna town it is around 26km away and you can rent a taxi to reach there. Perfect spot for beach lovers to spend their day.

One of the beautiful beaches in Jaffna peninsula. Clean white sand with small waves makes it child friendly environment.

Very clean beach. A lot of parking space available. Not crowded due to covid I guess. Very calm. Filled with a lot of coconut trees. Must visit in the north

Well kept beach, clean, no unwanted hangars on, easy to access, and safe vehicle park. Good place for a sea bath or beach sports.

The beach has a lifeguard and is quite safe. There are markers to indicate where to swim and where to avoid.
Public bathrooms are not very clean, and gets a bit crowded in the evenings.

hi,
you can drive upto the ferry port and there will be a free parking available there. After that its a short walk to the ferry port. There aren't regular service to Delft Islands - so you may have to hire a private boat for the journey which will take approx 1.5 hrs each way (cost not known). I suggest you go early morning as it can get really crowded with people going to see naga deepa viaharaya and nagapooshani kovil.

Hi we are planning to visit jaffna in mid December. 3 days 2 nights. Going by train. we want to visit casuarina beach, nagadeepa, delft. Can anybody advice me to how to plan this like 1 day 2day. 3rd day we have only morning session because train starting 1pm around from jaffna.

That's not practical, unless you hire a separate boat for it. The ferries to Nagadeepa & Delft start from the same place, therefore you need to come back & go to Delft. Thats because they are public ferries. If you hire a private boat which will be more expensive, you can visit Nagadeepa & Delft in the same day. Please not that you need to check the weather conditions before going to Delft.

Hell no. Trust the map when you do a Google search. It's about 20km from Jaffna
