Charty Beach

சாட்டி கடற்கரை

A quiet, shallow beach on Velanai Island, close to town and known for its sunsets and local family picnics.

Charty Beach is on Velanai Island, on the way to Nagadeepa Island, about 15 km from Jaffna city. The beach is narrow but shallow and calm, and it is surrounded by palm trees and fishing villages. It has fewer tourists than Casuarina Beach. It can be scheduled as a stop on the return leg of an island-hopping tour to watch the sunset. Facilities are limited, so bring your own drinking water, and dress with local customs in mind.
