Jaffna Beaches

Plan beach time around Casuarina, Keerimalai, Point Pedro, island shores, and coastal drives from Jaffna town.

Jaffna beaches are quieter than Sri Lanka's southern coast and are best planned as part of peninsula routes. Casuarina is the easiest beach for relaxed swimming, while Keerimalai and Point Pedro add coastal context and cultural stops.
