The beach is a lovely spot with a stunning view of the Thalvupadi pier. Unfortunately, it is currently quite littered, which detracts from its natural beauty. Despite this, it remains a popular tourist destination in the Mannar region.

Nestled beside the Thalvupadu pier lies a quaint fishing hamlet, adjacent to the serene Keeri beach. The beach itself, unfortunately, suffers from the proximity of a working area, resulting in less than pristine conditions. However, the breathtaking sunset view makes for a delightful sight. Regrettably, swimming or engaging in other recreational activities is not advisable.
