Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Keerimalai beach (Sri Lanka) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Keerimalai beach (Sri Lanka) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Keerimalai beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

Located in close proximity to the Naguleshwaram temple, this beach offers a unique experience for Hindus seeking solace after the loss of a loved one. With separate bathing ponds for both men and women, visitors can cleanse their bodies and minds in a peaceful environment. The beach itself is also available for those who wish to take a dip in the refreshing waters. However, it is important to note that this beach may not be completely safe for swimming, and the presence of coastal guards is necessary for any potential emergencies.

Located right next to Kankesanturai beach, this stunning location is open to the public at no cost. While it may not be the most highly recommended beach for relaxation, it is an absolute paradise for photographers and beach enthusiasts alike. The best times to visit are in the mornings, afternoons and early evenings, when the views are truly breathtaking. So if you're looking for a place to soak up the sun and take in the beauty of nature, Kankesanturai beach is the perfect spot for you.
