ATTRACTIONS
Jaffna Fort
The star-shaped bastion was begun by the Portuguese (1618-25), captured by the Dutch (1658) and later held by the British. Its granite ramparts, Dutch Governor’s House and Kruys Church bore the brunt of modern-era battles but are being restored; the walk around the walls offers sweeping lagoon vistas and a tangible chronicle of five centuries of conflict and trade.
Kovilan Point Lighthouse
At the north-west tip of Karaitivu Island, this 30 m white masonry tower has flashed two white beams every ten seconds since 1916, guiding ships through the Palk Strait. Built on an earlier 1899 station, the light’s 31 m focal height gives a 20 km range. Limited access means you admire it from the beach, but the cape’s windswept coral flats and panoramic sea views make the detour worthwhile.
Casuarina Beach
Karainagar’s famous ribbon of powder-white sand takes its name from the whispering casuarina trees that fringe the shoreline. Shallow, glass-clear water stretches far offshore—ideal for safe swimming, snorkelling above small reef outcrops, or sunset strolls beneath soft pastels.
Dambakolapatuna (Sangamitta) Beach & Vihara
At this quiet coconut-fringed inlet Theri Sangamitta landed in 249 BCE with a sapling of the sacred Sri Maha Bodhi. King Devanampiya Tissa built Samudda-Panasa Vihara to mark the event; the modern seaside temple keeps that early-Buddhist story alive, framed by turquoise water and fishing boats.
Delft (Neduntheevu) Island
A windswept coral island of wild ponies, baobab trees and Dutch-era ruins, Delft was a Portuguese horse station and later a Dutch outpost. Highlights include the coral-block pigeon loft, Queen’s Tower beacon and the crumbling limestone fort. Pack water and sun-protection—facilities are sparse but the sense of remoteness is unforgettable.
Fort Hammenhiel
This hexagonal coral-stone sea fort was built by the Portuguese (1618), captured and expanded by the Dutch (1658), later a British high-security prison, WWII hospital and today a boutique hotel run by the Sri Lanka Navy. Visitors can explore dungeons, ramparts and panoramic lagoon views after the short launch ride from the causeway jetty.
Jaffna Public Library
Opened in 1959 in graceful Indo-Saracenic style, the library once held 97,000 rare works before its tragic burning during the 31 May 1981 pogrom. Painstakingly rebuilt with island-wide donations and reopened in 2003, it now stands as a white-domed symbol of cultural resilience and welcomes readers to airy halls and peaceful gardens.
Keerimalai Naguleswaram Kovil
One of Sri Lanka’s five revered Pancha Ishwaram Shiva shrines, this sea-bluff temple is traced in legend to the 6th century BCE. Destroyed in the 17th century by Portuguese cannon fire, it was painstakingly rebuilt and finally re-consecrated in 2012. Pilgrims flock here on new-moon day (Aadi Amavasai) to offer milk, lamps and garlands beneath the towering gopuram, while sea breezes carry the scent of camphor and jasmine across sculpted sandstone pillars.
