Beach north of Okanda

About Beach north of Okanda

A remote stretch of sand lying north of the Okanda temple area, this beach sits well away from the more visited shores closer to Arugam Bay, rewarding those willing to make the journey with a sense of genuine seclusion. The coastline here forms part of the wild eastern fringe bordering Kumana National Park, where the land remains largely undeveloped and the pace unhurried. Visitors come to walk along the shore, watch coastal birdlife, and take in uninterrupted views across the Indian Ocean. Swimming conditions can vary, and the remoteness means facilities are minimal, so independent travellers should come prepared. Access typically requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle or arranged transport from Arugam Bay.
