Keeri Beach — Attraction in Northern Province

Mannar is one of the four districts of Sri Lanka’s Northern province. Mannar Island is connected to the northern mainland through a causeway. A mere five kilometres from its main town, Keeri Beach is known to locals for its sunny location and excellent swimming spots. The beach is bordered by a small forest of palm trees that is home to several tribes of monkeys, so if choosing Keeri Beach for a picnic, guests should ensure that no food items are left behind for the monkeys to steal. Remember to apply copious amounts of sunscreen before frolicking in the refreshing waters!

This is named as only bathing beach in Mannar Island by Marine Environment Protection Authority.

Large Vehicle Parking available with washrooms and other facilities under development.

At the moment there is a small botique shop where you can buy a few snacks. There is a set of washrooms and and a place to change, but they are not kept clean or in order. Regardless, the beach is a very nice place to visit with your family. It is a sandy beach with about 30m wide sandy shore. The sea is shallow for the first 10m, going up to only 2m depth. If you can swim, you will love the place more. It has all kinds of sea...
