Kankesanthurai Beach is also known as KKS Beach. Kankesanthurai is located on the north shore of the Jaffna Peninsula, near Point Pedro, Sri Lanka’s northernmost point.
It is considered one of the safest beaches in the North part of the country.
Because this clean and beautiful beach is less populated, pollution of any kind does not exist here. Now, the area is rapidly expanding as a popular destination for beachgoers.
This gorgeous sandy beach is great for a family day out surrounded by palm trees, where you can sit and relax, bask in the sun, or cool down in the tranquil waters after a hot day.
