Point Pedro is the northernmost point in Sri Lanka. It’s about 30 km from Jaffna town and takes about an hour to an hour and a half to get there. It may take you close to two hours to get back if you take the long, really roundabout way, but hey, that’s what adventures are for, right?
Like most areas in the North, Point Pedro was impacted by Sri Lanka’s civil war and 2004’s tsunami. The tsunami affected much of Sri Lanka’s south, but recovering from the tsunami has been a slower process in the North. This is very much evident in Point Pedro.
