Nice beach to relax and for sun bath. Anyone enjoy sea bath as the sea waves are very mild. Local and foreign tourists keep visiting there and enjoy the lovely water. Excellent safe swimming here with the wide sandy beach. A great place for families and childen to spend some good times. The beach is backed by Palm trees and screw pins. There are enough parking places and some local shops. If you want to visit a peaceful and friendly location with the beachside, you can choose the Nilaveli beach. You can go to Pigeon Island from here as well. Behind the beach, there are shops and cafes where you can buy toys, sweets, and street foods. During the monsoon season, the sea can be very rough.
