Hindus adore Keerimalai Springs, a sacred water source that has long been frequented by locals. They think the water has a remarkable healing ability here. Regardless, the spring's water is mineralized and salty despite not coming from the ocean because the basins are above sea level. These are not hot springs, though. Water may only be used for bathing, not drinking.

Anyone may swim in the springs due to their excellent swimming facilities. Although everything in this place is straightforward, the inhabitants are incredibly helpful and social and will explain everything to you. There are two swimming pools: a sizable pool for males that looks out over the ocean, and a smaller one just for ladies.

There is a changing area, as well as a shady spot to unwind. Even in swimwear, ladies must cover themselves with a towel or sheet. You can swim while wearing clothing (as some locals do), or strip to a swimsuit. You may take things with you and set them on the stairs surrounding the pool while changing in the locker rooms or right next to the springs beneath the umbrellas.

Keep a tight check on items since theft has happened.

There is a story behind this holy bath place. It was written on one of the big boards near the kovil and one of my friends translated it to me.
The view of the sea is spectacular.
There are separate bathing places for me and women. They also have separate parking spaces which are not free.
We tried mangos from a small vendor as well.

It's useless without pipes... 🙈☀🍂🐬🤽‍♂🏊‍♀🏊‍♀ "Kirimale Pond - Jaffna"
The specialty of this pond, which is located next to the Kirimale sea, is that the water in this pond is salt-free.
In short, no salt at all.
It is reported that even though a large stream of water flows into the sea from this pond, the amount of water does not decrease.
There is a beautiful legend about this Kerimale pond.
A miracle has happened to two thousand people who lived in India from this pond.
Although the body part of these two animals is human, their faces are animal.
The face of one taus is a mugati face and the other taus has a horse face.
In the meantime, they have received a message that there is a pond in Sri Lanka and that if they bathe in it, their faces will return to human form.
So these two Tausans have come to bathe in this pond after crossing the sea.
Later, there are legends that their faces turned into real human form.

Good spot for a bath along the Northern coastal road. There is a big parking area and the parking fee was Rs 20 for a bike. Many locals visit here as they believe the water to be sacred. There is also a Kovil next to the pool.

The water source for the pool is underground. The pool is situated right next to the sea but the water in the pool is not salty at all.

Evening would be the best time to visit because you can see the view of the Northern sun set at the beach.
