Passikudah Beach

Beauty of Pasikuda Beach

Both are wonderful beach destinations located north of Batticoloa on the east coast of the island and can easily be reached via Trincomalee, Polonnaruwa, and Batticoloa. The beach is a palm-fringed sandy beach with turquoise blue waters in a bay backed by resorts with an offshore reef. Pasikuda Beach is a beautiful location to view the amazing sunset in all its glory. The turquoise blue waters of Pasikuda attracts many tourists and it is a popular area for swimming and surfing.

Activities to do at Pasikuda Beach

Pasikuda means `green algae bay` and it is indeed such a beach with beautifully hued calm waters. This is a reason the Pasikuda beach attracts many locals and tourists. It is a great beach to surf, swim or stroll around. Some of the activities included here are kite surfing, boogie boarding and surfing and sailing across in a
canoe. The shores are adorned by coconut palms and palmyrah trees which is a beautiful sight to see.

Elephant Rock

Due to the lack of a wide shore in Pasikudah, Elephant rock is considered ideal, despite the disappearing beach line. The rock is a natural formation that vaguely looks like a baby elephant and can be accessed within 10 minutes from Pasikudha public beach.
