Destination Overview

Essential background & heritage of Casuarina Beach, Karainagar

Endless white sand beach with shallow crystal-clear waters shaded by whispering casuarina pine trees.

Regarded as the finest beach in the Northern Province, Casuarina Beach in Karainagar is famous for soft ivory sands and extremely shallow, calm waters where you can walk safely hundreds of meters into the sea. Shaded by needle-leaved casuarina trees, it is a peaceful retreat far from commercial crowds.
