Kaali Amman Kovil, Salli Beach
Tucked away beside the turquoise shores of Salli Beach in Trincomalee, the Kaali Amman Kovil is a serene and spiritually uplifting temple dedicated to Goddess Kali. What makes this place truly special is its rare coastal setting, where the rhythm of waves meets the silence of devotion.
The temple, seen in the image above, features vibrant Dravidian architecture, beautifully painted gopurams, and a welcoming courtyard where devotees can sit, pray, and reflect. Surrounded by lush greenery and whispering palms, it offers a peaceful escape away from crowds.
Just a few steps away from the golden sands and calm waters, the atmosphere here is charged with both spiritual power and natural beauty — a unique blend rarely found in typical temple settings.
Locals are warm and welcoming, and the temple is well-maintained by the community. Morning and evening poojas are observed with heartfelt devotion. For anyone interested in Hindu culture, coastal spirituality, or hidden gems, this temple is absolutely worth a visit.
Maybe you would like to mention the country (I needed to read until the end to guess). Connect is a glocal forum, so it is best if you mention your contry/region.
Also, kindly share the Maps link and let us know how you contributed on Maps.
Thank you for your kind suggestion!
You’re absolutely right — I’ll make sure to mention my country and region clearly next time to help fellow Connect members understand the context better.
Also, here is the Google Maps link of the place I contributed: https://maps.app.goo.gl/z4ZZbFppAawKpgTb9
I added photos, a short review, and updated accessibility info to help others. Thanks again for the helpful reminder!
My friend,… It would be great if you could also add the location link of the temple and places you mentioned in the post … You could use the edit option to add them to the existing post itself so that other local guides could easily check out the places .
Thank you so much, my friend, for the kind reminder!
You’re absolutely right — adding the location links will definitely help fellow Local Guides explore the places more easily.
I’ve now updated the post with the Google Maps links of the temple and other spots I mentioned.
Appreciate your thoughtful suggestion!
Hi @Nava
It looks fantastic and very attractive! For those holiday plans..is there a boats or canoes (specially) available for some tours with fresh air on!? …
And is it open for any purpose or just for ones related to the temple!?
Thanks !
Thank you so much! @Laurent
Yes, the place is perfect for a peaceful holiday plan — especially if you enjoy nature and spiritual surroundings.
There are small boats and canoes available nearby, especially in the early morning or late afternoon — great for catching some fresh air and enjoying the calm waters.
While the area is connected to the temple, it’s also open for general visits, photography, and relaxing nature walks. You’re most welcome to experience both the spiritual side and the natural beauty!
Thank you so much for your kind words! @NareshDarji
I’m really touched to hear that the spiritual essence came through.
This place truly holds a peaceful energy, and I’m glad I could share a bit of that with you through my story.
Your words inspire me to keep sharing more meaningful places and moments.
