Hi, We are planning to visit Talaimannar in next month. I just want to know, if we take the train would it be easy? Talaimannar dock, Adam's bridge and the lighthouse are located it walking distance? Or do we need to get a tuk tuk? Can you please recommend a good affordable place to stay over there?

Talaimannar old pier (dock) and lighthouse are within walking distance from the railway station. However, if sunny it's better to take a taxi (tuk tuk). Pier and lighthouse are guarded by the Sri Lanka Navy, and the two places are close to each other. Adam's bridge is not a bridge - it is an island formation consisting of 14 little sand collections 7 of which belong to Sri Lanka and the rest to India. It is possible to visit some on the Sri Lankan side in a boat with Navy permission. There is hardly any accomodation in Talaimannar other than the Thalsevena managed by the Sri Lankan Army. It has very spacious family rooms. However, those rooms are a bit pricey. You may have a look at the pictures I have posted on Google. There are a number of guest houses /hotels in Mannar. If you are going to travel a lot it is best to rent a self drive vehicle though hard to find.
What restaurants or cafes are available to tourists

Yes - As the others have said there is not much choice of food in the town. There are many eating places serving local food such as rice and curry, Dosai, etc. We stayed at a place called "Shellcoast Resort" - a few kilometres from Mannar off Talaimannar road run by a German lady who caters the place for German tourists. Secluded place near the beach where you can swim in the evening. Phone +94771449062. When I last visited Mannar late January, Palmyrah House was temporarily closed for renovation and improvement.
