It’s a relaxation area in evening times. KKS is considered to be one of the best beaches in the Northern Province; the other being Casuarina Beach. Untouched and non- crowded this strip of shore provides unique experiences that one can only find in this northernmost coast. It is one where visitors step into pristine waters and enjoy a swim in the hopes of cooling off after a long day of exploring the town in the sun.

Yes it is very hot and sunny.not many shelters available.but the beach is one of the best places you could visit in jaffna. It is very clean and the sea is amazing. Not very deep. The lighthouse near by is very beautiful and there are some ruins of an old harbor. There is a good parking space for which you have to pay 50 rupees.

Wonderful beach with nature, sunset looks amazing & also place to swim with shallow waves, however some days the waves very aggressive too, depends !

Another beautiful and quit place to enjoy some quality time. Don't know why, but this beach has a lonely vibe unlike other beaches, feels something emotional, but no clue what it is. As usual you can grab a bite here and there.

good place to have a sea bath....nice beach and see to sun down clean beach

Superb beach in the north of Jaffna. cool climate. nature is awesome in there. mind fully happy with see the sea, sea animals, sand. good place to visit change the mind into happiness mind.

A beautiful place, specially in evening. A snack shop is located inside. You can bath in the sea as well. A light house is located nearby.

small beach comparing others in Sri Lanka but beautiful indeed. you can bath, swimming no problem and there is a Lighthouse too. overall beautiful place to visit if you travelled to Jaffna.

Wow, what and amazing place to see. Doesn't take much time and looks beautiful in the evening. And there are so many shells on the seashore to collect as well. And the sand is so deep that I think the sand is deeper than the sea itself. And we can see the Point Pedro lighthouse clearly even though we are not allowed to go near it. It's a really spectacular place to see and enioy.

A well cleaned beach to enjoy your spare time by bathing or swimming.

Very nice

Kankesanthurai beach is a calm & peaceful beach, which can be easily accessed by road, railway station or the Thalsevana Resort. A good place to have a sea bath and enjoy with the family & friends. Generally a bit crowded on weekends & holidays.

Excellent beach, clean, safe and well maintained. Really beautiful and a pleasure to visit. Enjoyed both the ocean and just chilling on the gorgeous shore.

Local Beach. The sea is not excellent and the beach is very dirty. It can be easily reached from jaffna station by bus. Bring your own food and drink as there is nothing around except a small shake bar.

one of the beautiful places in KKS. Very hot and sunny. Recommended to have a bath before 10.00 am or after 4.00 pm to avoid this temperature.

One of the beautiful place in jaffna.... In the evening time very nice sceneries are there..... we can spend our time with family...

The beach and also a big sea

beautiful & relaxing place good to view in late afternoon There is a raliway station near 200m

A wonderful beach

Wonderful and beautiful beach

Wonderful beach with nature, sunset is wonderfull & also place to swim with shallow waves

Very nice beach wonderful

Great & attactive beach. Specialy in the evening time.

The beach is beautiful and food is cheap

Beautiful beach, if rather short. The remains of embankments and the lighthouse are picturesque, and the sunsets are lovely when the sky is not overcast.

Beautiful calm sea one of the best place to visit in the Jaffna peninsula. April is the hottest month visit early or late in the evening to have dip in the sea. Please don't leave the plastic bags or the bottles think of the environment 🤔

Crystal Deep Blue Sea and Clear Rainbow Sky 😇

Nice place but doesn't have a proper place to sit in day time and it is so dark there when we went there at night time

The sea is not excellent and the beach is very dirty.

This is a beautiful beach and most of the people are go to this place and takes a shower. Also this beach covers a large area. Also there is a small shop called 'Beach Cafe' and a old nice Light House. It is okay to stop when you're going a trip and get refreshment with a bath.

Very Clam and Quite Beach in Northern Part of Sri Lanka. Near the KKS Railway Station. ❤

Kankesanthurai Beach, is a beautiful coastal area in Jaffna District, Northern Province, Sri Lanka. It is considered one of the best beaches in the northern part of the island. The beach is known for its golden sand, clear blue water, and calm waves. It is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking. There is also a lighthouse and a naval base located near the beach.

A good place for sea bathing and to hang around with family and friends, specially during the mornings and evenings. Maintained by Sri Lanka Army, there's a public parking opposite the entrance - no vehicles allowed to enter the beach. There's hardly any waves due to a coral reef and shallow waters, which makes the bathing fun and less risky. There aren't luxury facilities but there's a little cafe, a play area (for cricket, etc.) and a kids park. Importantly the beach isn't polluted and the natural beauty has been preserved.

This place is awesome 😎. You can swim there safely. A must visit place if you are visiting Jaffna . ♥️🔥

Nice beach to have a bath. Its very hot. Recommend going in the evening. There is a kids play area nearby

Once upon a time, it was a good beach in jaffna, but now a days the nearest hotel prohibited a nice part of the beach to bathing or going to a nice part of the beach. They allowed people for the beach on the other side , there are so many stones i. The sea bed. Harmful for leg.

The beach is ok to bath. The sea is shallow and hardly any big wave. But your feet will be poked by rocks on the bottom. Freshwater bathing place is available.

Peaceful place

One of the most beautiful beaches in the country. The water is clear and blue as sapphire.

A nice beach with white sand.

Great place to visit Kankesanthurai (Tamil: காங்கேசன்துறை, Sinhala: කන්කසන්තුරේ, lit. Port Kankesan), colloquially known as KKS, is a port suburb, fishing division and resort hub of the Jaffna District, Northern Province, Sri Lanka. Formerly an electoral district, Kankesanthurai is home to the Kankesanthurai beach, Keerimalai Naguleswaram temple (a Pancha Ishwaram) and the Maviddapuram Kandaswamy Temple. The port's harbour has served as an arrival and departure point for pilgrims since classical antiquity and is named after the Sri Lankan Tamil god Murukan. Kankesanthurai suburb has many fishing villages and Grama Niladhari (village officers) and is a northern part of Valikamam, one of the three regions of ancient habitation on the Jaffna peninsula, located on the peninsula's northern coast, 12 miles from Jaffna city, 85 miles from Mannar and 155 miles from Trincomalee. A popular tourist destination for its temples, its sandy, palm tree filled coastal stretch of beach and the Keerimalai Springs, other prominent landmarks in Kankesanthurai include the suburb's natural harbour, its fort and lighthouse. During the 8th century renovation of the Maviddapuram Kandaswamy Temple by the Chola-Pandyan princess Mathurapuraveeravalli, the temple's statue of Kankesan (Murugan) was brought via the port of Gayathurai which was later renamed Kankesanthurai in his honour.Thurai means "port" in Sri Lankan Tamil.

Fantastic place for quite sitting

There was a huge cement factory.

Great place for visiting with the family or friends. Beach is properly maintained and cleaned, unlike other beaches in Jaffna. Dedicated parking space were available for a parking fee. A place where you can take some good photographs. Beware on hot days, it will be hard to find shade nearby the beach.
