TransportPrior to the severe destructions by a cyclone in December 1964, it was the terminus of a ferry service to India across the very shallow Palk Bay. The ferry service was part of the Indo-Lanka Railway service, where passengers were ferried between Talaimannar and Dhanushkodi on Rameswaram island in India. The pier was served by a station of the Sri Lanka Government Railway. The train services are currently discontinued and the track abandoned up to Medawachchiya junction. Presently, work had been done to resume the service by rebuilding the rail line from Talaimannar to Medawachchiya.[1] The Mannar railway line was restored and reopened in 2015.[2] The town can be reached by a road from Mannar which links the island to the rest of the country through a causeway. {{clear|left}}DevelopmentBeing a windy location, Talaimannar is a kitesurf and kiteboard destination. The government proposed a wind farm but was opposed by the local community as the area is a bird sanctuary.[3] {{anchor|India-Sri Lanka land border}} India-Sri Lanka land borderTalaimannar is about 18 miles East of Dhanushkodi.
