Kirinda is a sandy beach that stretches for 3 kilometers in the southern part of Sri Lanka. It is situated near a fishing village called Kirinda and a Buddhist stupa. The beach's high waves and stunning reefs make it a popular spot for extreme surfing and underwater swimming enthusiasts. The beach is covered in light yellow sand and has large boulders on the coast, making it an excellent location for unique photo shoots and long walks along the shoreline.

Ah, the Sri Lankan beach, a true gem of nature's beauty. It boasts a designated area for bathing, but heed my warning, dear reader, for when the waves get rough, it's best to avoid a dip. And let's not forget the historical significance of this place, oh no, it's not just any beach, it's a beach with a past. So come, bask in the sun and soak up the history, just be mindful of those waves.
