Overview
Nestled in the serene coastal town of Kalkudah, in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka, Elephant Rock Beach is a hidden gem that offers a tranquil retreat away from the bustling tourist spots. This picturesque beach, marked by the iconic Elephant Rock that gives it its name, stretches over a couple of kilometers with golden sands underfoot and the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean lapping gently at its shores. Activities at Elephant Rock Beach are tailored more towards relaxation and exploration, with swimming, sunbathing, fishing, and scenic walks being popular. However, visitors should note that Elephant Rock Beach has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does have basic access and spectacular views that compensate for the lack of facilities like lifeguards, bathroom access, and others. Dogs, disability access, nudity, camping, and surfing are not permitted on this beach, ensuring it remains pristine and peaceful for all who visit.
