Why Is Kalutara So Famous? Know The Best Things To Do In This Historic Coastal Town

Shinjuku is a very diverse part of Tokyo with a lot of activity and some rebelliousness, but it’s completely different in style and design compared to the other areas of Tokyo.  As far as contrasts go, Shinjuku is the most contrasting area of Tokyo. You can look at commercial 3D billboards within a couple of minutes’ walk to find very old traditional garden spaces. Shinjuku Station, as the busiest train station worldwide, could be described as a crazy madman's labyrinth for a first visit.  Yet, stepping outside into the bright neon lights of the Shinjuku area exposes a bright, fascinating area to play.  To help you get started, below is a list of “What to do in Shinjuku” as a first timer.  What To Do In Shinjuku As A First Timer?  Shinjuku is a city within a city. It’s loud, it’s crowded, and it’s occasionally a little messy. However, that’s exactly what makes it the most authentic urban experience in Japan.  Here are the things if you are feeling clueless about what to do in Shinjuku.  1. Retro Vibes At Kitamura Camera Kitamura Camera isn't a store. It's a vertical museum built around film cameras.  Rows of vintage gear line the floors, including rare glass lenses and models from the 1930s.  The place hums with quiet energy, untouched by digital noise.  It's tucked into Musashino Street, a lively area where shops mix with daily life. Even pros who shoot in RAW find it worth visiting for its raw craftsmanship and calm atmosphere. 2. The Roar Of Godzilla Road You'll see the Godzilla head before you hear it.   Its massive form stretches over Toho Cinemas, like a guardpost at the entrance to Godzilla Road.  The statue is a fixture in Shinjuku, visible from most sidewalks. Also, Hotel Gracery has rooms shaped like the monster itself. The Toho building bears the giant head of Godzilla, towering over the street corner.  That image sets the tone for everything around it, the kind of visual that sticks in your memory long after you leave.  Hotel Gracery offers themed rooms that let fans step into their favorite scenes.  The area feels unfiltered! Neon signs flash at odd hours, crowds surge during rush times, and alleys smell like food carts and rainwater mixing on pavement. 3. Sky-High Views (For Free!) Most of Tokyo's observation decks are rather expensive, but the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building provides a magnificent view of the city for exactly zero yen.  The queue is very fast at that point. On a clear day, you may be lucky enough to see the famous Mount Fuji.  Even on a cloudy day, you will still enjoy the amazing view of the city.  Insider Tip: Definitely visit the cafe on the top floor. The matcha desserts there go very well with the sunset view of the skyline. 4. The World’s Largest Projection Mapping Show It's all about timing.  If you can, leave the Metropolitan Government Building just when the Sun goes down so that you can see a projection mapping show that has entered the Guinness World Records.  A huge skyscraper's side gets turned into a screen for colorful animations.  The Pac-Man sequence, which was a throwback to the arcade game, was the highlight of architectural lighting during our visit.  It was as if the entire building was a giant glowing game of Pac-Man. 5. The Shinjuku 3D Cat Forget about Hachiko. If you come near Shinjuku Station East Exit and lift your eyes, you will spot a Giant 3D Cat.  This digital masterpiece "resides" on a curved billboard, and its antics include playful meowing and looking down at the crowd of commuters.  It is remarkably realistic and even more enchanting when it shines under the night lights. 6. The Neon Labyrinth Of Kabukicho Welcome to the largest red-light district in Japan.  Kabukicho is a sensory overload in the most enjoyable way. Moreover, it is a center of entertainment that is always alive with bars, restaurants, and the newly changed Samurai Restaurant Time (formerly the renowned Robot Restaurant).  Though it has a somewhat rough image, it is a place that anyone who wishes to see the "Blade Runner" side of Tokyo should definitely go to. 7. Sing Your Heart Out At Karaoke Kan You haven't truly felt Japanese social rhythm until you're in a private booth at Karaoke Kan.  There, you rent a high-tech room with friends instead of singing to strangers like in Western bars.  Moreover, the selection is vast, thousands of songs in English and Japanese, and it's probably the most common cultural milestone for young adults. 8. A Natural Escape: Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden When the neon lights get overwhelming, head to Shinjuku Gyoen.  It's huge, with an area of more than 100 acres, and you might spend hours wandering through traditional gardens with French, English, and Japanese influences.  Moreover, the paths change shape every few minutes. So, you'll likely lose track of time. Must Try: Muroya offers real sweets or a cute sushi set inside the garden.  This place has been going strong for generations. It's more or less certain that your parents were here too, decades back. 9. Breakfast At St. Marc Cafe St. Marc Cafe is better than chains for local flavor.  Furthermore, their ChocoCro is flaky, buttery, and tends to draw long lines.  Also, breakfast sets cost under $10 and keep people energized during long city walks. 10. Nostalgia In Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane) Tucked away near the tracks is a narrow alleyway known as Omoide Yokocho.  Years ago, it earned the nickname "Piss Alley," but today it’s a charming, albeit cramped, destination for yakitori and beer.  Moreover, the smoke from dozens of small grills creates a nostalgic atmosphere that feels miles away from the modern skyscrapers nearby. 11. Exploring Musashino Street While walking toward the camera shops, you'll likely find yourself on Musashino Street. It’s a delightful shopping district that feels exceptionally safe and welcoming. Shopping Tip: Look for the specialized Don Quijote here. Moreover, unlike the massive, chaotic branches, this one focuses specifically on products popular with tourists, making it a "souvenir shortcut."

The northernmost major city of Sri Lanka is famous for its beautiful Hindu temples, such as the Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil and Naguleswaram Temple (Keerimalai). It also stands out with its unique sculptural scenario and great food.  However, very few people talk about the beautiful beaches of Jaffna, such as Kankesanthurai and Casuarina. During my trip to Jaffna, I loved the white sands, calm shallow waters, and Palmyra trees. Also, the Jaffna beaches are a paradigm shift from beach towns like Mirissa.  You will not get the vibrant nightlife or the maddening crowd. The vibe is pristine and slow. And with the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) focusing on Jaffna now for the diversification of the country’s tourism profile, these beaches are going to play a vital role.  In this Jaffna beach guide, I will talk about the most prominent beaches, the amenities, expert tips, and more.  What Are The Best Beaches Near Jaffna Sri Lanka? The beaches in Jaffna show a contrasting vibe in comparison to the beaches near Colombo, such as Bentota or Unawatuna. The Colombo beaches are touristy and offer watersport activities such as parasailing, diving, and surfing.  On the other hand, the shallow water of Jaffna is ideal for swimming. Also, the golden sands of the Colombo beaches are replaced by the soft white sands.  Overall, the beaches in Jaffna focus more on tranquility and show the slow-paced vibe of the city. You know Jaffna Siesta is a real thing!  1. Casuarina Beach (Karainagar) Casuarina Beach Entrance Fee: 500 LKR (Foreigners), 50 LKR (Locals) Distance from Jaffna: 21 Kms As you reach the Casuarina Beach, a wide stretch of casuarina trees, creating a canopy over your head, welcomes you. The beach gets its name from these trees.  The stretches of the soft white sand of the beach are also surrounded by palm trees. Furthermore, the west-facing is known for beautiful sunset views.  What Are The Things To Do In Casuarina Beach?  Casuarina Beach is a place to relax. The shallow water here is ideal for swimming. You can go to the middle of the ocean, where you will find fishermen in action.  The fishermen ride in a raft-like boat. You can join them and have a conversation about their daily lives and how they survive the sea. For me, it was pretty much the “Riders to the Sea Moment.” Also, Kamban, a middle-aged fisherman of Jaffna, shared something about the impact of the Civil War here. He reminded me of a Reuters report published many years back. It talked about how the Puthumathalan beach, around 113 km from Jaffna, was filled with broken medicine bottles, pieces of clothes, and rusty cooking pots as the aftermath of the civil war.  Nevertheless, Kamban said, “You know, we did not have any food. We could not go out for fishing, and we never knew who would be the next to take a bullet.  We are now recovering and getting tourists. Still, we need more support, and the fear will remain among people of my generation and the next one.” Today, Casuarina Beach has some beach clubs and resorts offering water sports activities such as snorkeling and jet skiing.  Still, I feel, it’s a place to relax and ponder over how the locals are showing resilience to maintain the glory of a city devastated by the Sri Lankan Civil War.  Also, the Casuarina Beach is the place to try the authentic food of Jaffna. I loved the crabs and vadai here.  How To Reach Casuarina Beach From Jaffna?  The most convenient way to reach the Casuarina Beach is to take a private taxi to Jaffna. The cost will be around 1200 LKR.  2.  Kankesanthurai (KKS) Beach Entry Fee: Free Distance from Jaffna: 19 Km How to Reach: Take Tuk-Tuks from Jaffna The Kankesanthurai is a navy-maintained beach with sparkling blue water. It is also just 10 minutes away from the Keerimalai Freshwater Springs, one of the iconic landmarks in the spiritual and cultural landscape of Jaffna. Also, the nearby Thalsevana Resort is a place to relax and try authentic Jaffna cuisine while indulging in the beauty of the pristine beach.  You can swim in Kankesanthurai. However, you need to be careful about the current. However, this beach is more popular for the snorkeling activities and is famous for the Keerimalai to Kankesanthurai Walk.  Kankesanthurai (KKS) Beach Snorkeling  Kankesanthurai, with its shallow water and some marine life and corals visible, is a decent snorkeling site. I saw some sea turtles while swimming at Kankesanthurai beach.   The water here is warm, and the calm conditions make it beginner-friendly. May to September is the best time for snorkeling in Kankesanthurai.  However, there is no established snorkeling facility here. So, you need to bring your own gear, including fins and masks.  So, if you want a proper snorkeling experience, you can explore alternative locations in Sri Lanka, such as the Nilaveli Beach of Pigeon Island, which also has the Pigeon National Park.  The Coral Island of Trincomalee and the southern coastal spots such as Hikkaduwa & Mirissa are some of the best locations to try snorkeling in Jaffna.  Keerimalai To Kankesanthurai Walk The distance between Keerimalai and Kankesanthurai is just around 2 km. So, when you start from Keerimalai and walk north toward Kankesanthurai, you will reach your destination in 25-30 minutes.  There is no marked beach trail for the walk. However, as you proceed, you will experience amazing coastal views and fishing activities, especially near the pier and shorefront.  However, if you want to beat the heat, you can take a tuk-tuk to reach the beach from Keerimalai. Manalkadu Sand Dunes: The Hidden Gems Near Jaffna  Manalkadu sand dunes are the ideal location for an off-the-grid camping experience in Jaffna. Also, at times, I want absolute silence around me. Being an introvert, too many interactions and activities often drain me.  Stargazing in those moments works like a therapy for me. If you are also like me and want the world around you to “Shut Up,” you must try stargazing at Manalkadu.  The long chain of sanddunes here stretches to meet the sea, and this is a geologically striking feature. The desert-like setup and the sand dunes offer some “interesting perspectives” for photography, especially while watching the sunset.  And the best way to experience stargazing at Manalkadu? Try off-grid camping here.  Camping At Manalkadu And Stargazing  I set up my tent on the Manalkadu beach, and the wild, open area with almost no light pollution offered the best stargazing experience. Of course, it was not as vivid as stargazing in Great Barrier Island.  Still, the spontaneity and simplicity won me over. However, Manalkadu is not a formal camping or stargazing site. So, you will need to bring your tent, telescope, red light, water, and other essentials.  Also, we spotted some fishing huts on the beach. We sought their permission, and they happily agreed. In fact, they shared their meal with us, allowing me to spend more time stargazing and enjoying the silence. Things To Pack For Camping At Manalkadu  Manal Kadu means sand jungle in the Tamil Language. True to its name, it is a pristine place where desert, jungle, and the sea co-exist.  Also, it is called the “Swimming Pool of the North.” Nevertheless, since it has a primitive setup, you need to carry some essentials.  Tent Sand Anchors or Stakes Plenty of Food and Water Nearby Portable Stove Cooking Gear Headlamp or Lanterns First-Aid Kit Power Banks Trash Bags The Quiet Alternatives: Jaffna Beaches Do you want to enjoy a sunset stroll by the water with no one around? Visit the quieter alternatives such as the Charty Beach and Akkarai Beach. 1. Charty Beach The Charty Beach is on Velanai Island, and it is a 15 km drive from Jaffna City. You will reach the beach from the city within 30 minutes after a journey through the Jaffna–Pannai–Kayts Road.  The warm water here is ideal for swimming, and you can even try near-shore paddling.

So, Don’t Swim when the Current is Strong.  Best Months May to SeptemberBest Time to Visit in a Day• Early Morning• Late Afternoon Beach Amenities And Safety Guide Once again, the Jaffna beaches are not the luxury tropical getaways you are looking for. So, you must have a clear idea about what to expect at these pristine beaches.  Also, learn about the safety infrastructure before getting into the water.  1. Basic Beach Amenities  Casuarina Beach has paid changing rooms. However, other beaches have no makeshift provisions for changing and resting.  So, you must carry beach umbrellas and folding chairs if you don’t want to sit on the sand.  There is no official presence of a lifeguard or support on these beaches. Network coverage is decent. However, you can face connectivity issues if the weather deteriorates.  The beaches in Jaffna are accessible from Jaffna City by tuk-tuk and other vehicles. However, in Casuarina Beach, you will have to pay a small fee for entrance and parking your vehicle.  2. Safety And Norms Do not go very far into the ocean water, as there can be strong currents, and there is no formal lifeguard support.  Also, be careful while walking barefoot on the sand,d as there can be seashells and seaweeds.  In addition, dress modestly, shorts and T-shirts are fine! Also, do not leave trash behind.  Exploring The Jaffna Coastline: Know The Expert Tips  Want to explore the coastal beauty of Jaffna to the fullest? Follow these expert tips.  1. Go On Weekdays You will find local buses packed around the Casuarina Beach, and the noise of loud music can be an annoying factor.  Choose a Monday or Tuesday for your ocean visit to spend some moments of quietude. 2. Bring Reef Shoes The Charty and KKS beaches have sharp dead coral very close to the water's edge. So, your feet may get a cut if you don’t wear reef shoes.  3. Have Navy Food  When you are visiting the Kankesanthurai (KKS) beach, you don’t need to eat at a beach shack. You can walk into the Thalsevana Holiday Resort run by the military.  Enjoy a hygienic and tasty lunch and cold beer there while enjoying the ocean view. 4. Riding On Manalkadu? You Will Need A 4X4  You can drive a scooter to Manalkadu. However, you have to park it on the hard road. You cannot take it to ride onto the sand dunes, and the wheels will get stuck.  5. Morning Is The Best Time For The Beach Visit  You cannot visit a beach in Jaffna at noon. The Northern Sun is scorching. So, plan a visit between 7 AM and 8 AM or after 4 PM.  6. You Can Wade In Akkrai But Cannot Swim  The water at the Akkarai Beach is usually knee-deep. So, you can wade through the water of this beautiful beach.  However, swimming does not look like an ideal activity here.  7. Changing Rooms Are Basic The Casuarina Beach has changing rooms. However, these rooms are just concrete stalls with a bucket of water.  You will have to bring your towel and toilet paper.  8. Respect The Fishermen Most beaches in Jaffna are like a workspace for the fishermen. So, there will be fishing boats and nets on the shore.  You cannot step on or lie on them. Do not tamper with them.  9. Drink Thambili To Stay Hydrated  Jaffna beaches do not have places serving fancy cocktails. The best refreshment is to drink the King Coconut or Thambili water.  It replenishes the micronutrients, and it is a must-have when the Sun is scorching. What Are The Authority Voices On Jaffna Beaches And Coastline?  “Casuarina Beach is named after the shady trees that line it, offering a rare respite from the scorching Northern sun. It’s the closest Jaffna gets to a holiday vibe.” - The Lonely Planet.  “Don’t expect the polished tourism of the South. Jaffna’s beaches are raw, working coastlines where fishermen outnumber tourists—and that is their charm.” - Rough Guides.  Jaffna Beach Guide: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  Here are the frequently asked questions and answers about the Jaffna beaches.  1.

However, for the Casuarina Beach, the entry fee is 50 LKR for locals and 500 LKR for foreigners. Also, the amenities at the Jaffna beaches are basic. So, a foreigner looking for a luxury beach experience or the resort vibe can feel disappointed.  2. Is It Safe To Wear A Bikini At Jaffna Beaches?

Golden sands, world-class surf breaks, and a distinct bohemian charm!  All these make Arugam Bay, another southeastern coastal gem of Sri Lanka, stand out.  This sleepy fishing village wakes up with the swelling of the ocean. Also, the destination creates an expert balance between a high-energy aquatic sports culture and a deeply relaxing and off-the-beaten-path atmosphere.  You can even be an experienced longboarder ready to ride an iconic right-hand point break. You are also an enthusiast of slow travel, looking to explore ancient temples in the jungle or pristine national parks.  Arugam Bay offers an unforgettable tropical escape for all types of travelers.  Moreover, since Arugam Bay is not as busy as the traditional central southwestern travel loop of Sri Lanka, it still has a raw and authentic identity.  So, in this article, I will discuss the things to do in Arugam Bay and my experience there.  What Are The Things To Do In Arugam Bay?  Arugam Bay is not the usual idyllic coastal getaway you are looking for.  From being an adventure hub for surfers across all expertise levels to climbing the Elephant Rock and hiking to the Ancient Kudumbigala Monastery, it is a versatile destination for backpackers, solo travelers, and families.  1. Learn To Surf The Legendary East Coast Waves  The local coastline is home to a happening surf community, and the dotting crescent bays offer optimal wave conditions for every tier of experience.  Moreover, as I walked through the main street, I found an abundance of surf shops offering professional instruction and gear rental.  Surfing For Beginners At Arugam Bay  If you are a beginner, you have to stick to the main crescent of Arugam Bay Beach.  Furthermore, the sandy bottom here is incredibly forgiving. So, if you are a beginner, you can pay 2,000 to 3,500 LKR to a local instructor for a 1.5-hour lesson.    Moreover, the board rentals are highly economical, and you have to pay around 400 to 800 LKR for a board rental for a day.  If You Are An Intermediate Or Advanced Surfer  You can take a short tuk-tuk ride north to Pottuvil Point or Whiskey Point.  Furthermore, if you are seeking maximum power, you must visit the Main Point or venture south to the secluded A-frame waves at Peanut Frame.  2. Relaxing At Arugam Bay Beach The central beachfront of Arugam Bay is one of the most beautiful shorelines in Sri Lanka.  The golden sand and leaning coconut palms welcome you to relax at the end of a multi-day itinerary.  Enjoy a fresh king coconut, lay out a towel, or rent a dedicated sunbed from popular beachside establishments like Friends Indeed or the Upali Beach Resort. Moreover, you can enjoy a refreshing swim, and if you don’t want to navigate around surfboard traffic, you can walk to the right-hand side of the bay. 3. Watching The Sunset From The Elephant Rock  Elephant Rock is the best location to watch the sunset in Arugam Bay. I just took a short drive for 20 minutes from the town to reach this massive natural rock formation.  This rock formation stands at the end of the unpaved track where the jungle meets the sea.  The Climb  After reaching the trail, I had to take a steep 10-minute walk to reach the top of the Elephant Rock.  From the top of the rock, you will enjoy a 360-degree view of the wild coastline and watch surfers in action. Wildlife Precautions  At the base of the rock, there is a tidal lagoon, and it is a known habitat of wild crocodiles.  So, you must not wade into this water.  Moreover, elephants roam through this corridor during twilight frequently. So, you must come down from the rock and depart the place before darkness.  Cost  A tuk-tuk ride from Elephant Rock to Arugam Bay costs between LKR 800 and 1000. 4. Hiking To The Ancient Kudumbigala Monastery  The Kudumbigala Monastery is located at a distance of around 30 kilometers from Arugam Bay. This monastery was built in 246 BC during the reign of King Devanampiyatissa. This was a sweeping rock monastery, which was a sanctuary for the Buddhist monks who wanted to retreat from urban centers.  The site is expansive, and here, you will see around 200 ancient caves beneath monolithic boulders.  I trekked up a series of carved stone stairs through dense jungle canopy to reach the summit.  There stands the Belumgala Stupa, the only surviving cylindrical stupa of Sri Lanka. Moreover, from here, you can enjoy an uninterrupted view of the Kumana National Park's emerald forests extending all the way to the Indian Ocean. However, this area is a wild animal migration path. So, you have to exercise caution or hire an experienced local driver while exploring the area.  5. Wilderness Safari In Kumana National Park If you are done exploring the southwestern reserves, you can head to Yala East or the Kumana National Park.  Very close to the south of Arugam Bay, it offers an intimate environment for a wilderness safari as it receives a low volume of tourist jeeps.  Furthermore, this national park stands out as the sanctuary of many migratory birds, which mostly visit between April and July.  Also, on a usual 3-hour drive in the morning or afternoon, you will spot wild Sri Lankan elephants roaming the marshes, mugger crocodiles, wild boars, golden jackals, and, if fortune favors you, an elusive leopard.  Moreover, the national park remains open from 6 AM to 6 PM, and you can easily arrange private 4x4 game drives through experienced local services like Arugambay Agenda or Budget Arugam Bay Tours & Safari on the main strip. 6. Marveling At The Seaside Muhudu Maha Viharaya Stupa The Muhudu Maha Viharaya is amidst the sand dunes of Pottuvil Beach. It is a fascinating historic site, and it is known as the “Temple of the Ocean.”  Moreover, the history of the stupa goes back 2000 years, and this peaceful white stupa has many statues. 7. A Peaceful Pottuvil Lagoon Safari  If you want a non-motorized, tranquil experience, you must take a boat ride through the Pottuvil Lagoon's mangroves, operated by local fishermen. Moreover, this is an amazing activity to spot wildlife such as elephants, water buffalo, and monitor lizards up close.  You must join a local community-based tour of 2 hours here. The tour will cost 2,000 LKR ($6 USD) per person. Read Also: What Are The Places To Visit In Matara?
