Pasikudah
Eastern Province
Pasikudah is a resort bay on the east coast, known for water that stays shallow and calm a long way out from the sand. It is a good place for families and for anyone who wants to float rather than fight waves.
Resorts line the bay, and snorkelling, paddle boards and kayaks are the main activities. Kalkudah, the next bay, is quieter, and Batticaloa, with its lagoon and old fort, is a short drive away.
