We also visited Point Pedro Beach, which is pristine and beautiful. Frankly, I’m surprised it hasn’t been taken over by the tourism industry yet, but it’s likely because the land is owned by the government, given the civil war and the tsunami. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before it becomes yet another tourist hot spot.
There was no one on the beach, literally. Even the fishermen weren't around.
We were there mid-afternoon. Long shadows.
So ends my recent Jaffna adventure. I’m looking forward to going back and exploring more. Even though it sounds strange, it’s one of my most favorite areas in Sri Lanka, perhaps because it holds such promise for the future.
And as a plug, there is really only one place to stay in Jaffna: Expo Pavilion II on Kandy Road. It’s delightfully Sri Lankan and while it’s nothing fancy, it’s clean and the breakfast is awesome. Be sure to have the sweet and salty lime juice, nature’s Gatorade.
