Ideally located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the country, just 1 hour from Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka’s most fascinating capital, Karpaha Sands is your ideal beach stop in any itinerary combining the cultural and natural treasures of Sri Lanka, between the Cultural Triangle and the Central Mountains or Yala NP.

From Polonnaruwa:
Take Road A11 until you pass mile post 127. At the large round about of the Thirukkondaiadimadu Junction, turn right towards Batticaloa on Road A15 (Trincomalee-Batticaloa Road) until you pass mile post 28. Between mile post 28 and 27, pass the Kumburumulai Junction on your left with hotel boards indicating a turn on the left to Passikudah. Continue straight for 100m and turn on your left onto the red soil unpaved road at the “Karapaha Sands” and “Cashew Corporation Estate Board” signboards for 3km, pass the railway track and follow the “Karpaha Sands” signboards. The entrance is about 1km after the railway crossing.

From Trincomalee:
Take Road A15 south towards Batticaloa for approximately till you reach Thirukkondaiadimadu Junction, then follow directions above (“From Polonnaruwa”).

From Batticaloa:
Take Road A15 north towards Trincomalee, pass Eravur and Kiran Villages. Pass mile post 27, and 100m after the Oviya guesthouse (on your left), turn right onto the red soil unpaved road at the “Karapaha Sands” and “Cashew Corporation Estate Board” signboards (if you reach the Kumburumulai Junction on your right with countless hotel boards indicating a turn on the right to Passikudah, you have just missed the dirt road). Then follow directions in the “From Polonnaruwa” section.
