Casuarina Beach

 Traveling improves social skills of persons with disabilities. Traveling forces persons with disabilities to put themselves in other people’s shoes; in other words, it gives them a capacity for empathy, that is, to sense what others are experiencing.

In addition, being outside their immediate circle forces them to talk to strangers and often, make themselves understood. This, which seems unimportant, turns out to be a great tool for improving their communication skills because if they can make new friends in a different—and even sometimes hostile—environment, they will be able to speak in public for they have acquired skills by putting themselves out there.

Ms. Manique Gunaratne took the initiative to give the opportunity to a group of persons with diverse #disabilities to visit the casuarina beach in May 2022. Considered as the north’s favourite beach, the Casuarina Beach happens to be named so because of the abundance of Casuarina trees found at this place. It has been protected from human touch over many years. This beach lies north of the Karativu islands, on Karainagar Island, which is one of the largest islands in the peninsula. The road to Casuarina beach goes along the Ponnalai causeway that connects the mainland to the island. The drive is beautiful since you can see many salt pans and water on both sides. Casuarina Beach is now a popular attraction for tourists because of its unique soft white sands, clear shallow blue waters with no waves and absolute relaxing atmosphere; making it a very different beach from other beaches of the island. A dip in the water at this beach is a must since there is a long space of shallowness making it pleasurable for a bath. Experience the shallow waters by going out on a boat out to sea, where you can enjoy the abundance of corals as the sun shines down on the clear blue waters.

​A group of people are walking along the beach where the gentle waves meet the shore. The beach has some seaweed and a few small boats are resting further up the sand, backed by trees. The sky is blue with some white clouds, and one man on the right is taking a picture with his phone.

A woman stands on a sandy beach in front of the ocean under a clear, blue sky. She is wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt and has a colorful scarf or bag over her shoulder. The water is a light greenish-blue and gentle waves are rolling in.

Gentle waves are coming up to the shore, and the sky is clear with a few scattered clouds. The scene appears calm and sunny. G
