Passekudah beach is located about 35 kilometers northwest of Batticaloa. Pasikudah has become a popular tourist destination amongst locals and foreigners alike. This is because Pasikudah is known to have one of the longest stretches of shallow coastline in the world.
Passikudah Bay’s shallow waters offer a perfectly safe environment for learning how to swim and therefore a popular bathing spot for families with children. There are also possibilities to snorkel, to fish and have some boat rides around.
