Where: India & Indian Ocean · Asia · approx. 9.15, 79.45 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: Rail-and-ferry port town to Ceylon obliterated by the December 1964 cyclone (about 1,800 dead, a whole train lost) and declared unfit for habitation
What turns up: eyes-only: church, station and town ruins; ordinary shells and modern beach wrack on the strand
Access: Restricted.
Access is daylight-only and controlled at the Mukundarayar Chathiram checkpoint; the spit adjoins a sensitive international boundary zone. Treat the ruins as a memorial: eyes-only, no digging or souvenir stripping
