This is a great spot to hang out with your loved ones, including kids, family, and friends. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid leaving any trash behind. It's also a good place for flying kites, although soil erosion can be an issue here. Unfortunately, the Sri Lankan government hasn't taken steps to prevent erosion and has allowed foreign countries to extract ilmenite, which is a concern for the environment and the beach's future. Let's work together to protect our beaches and preserve them for future generations.
