Batticaloa District is home to some of Sri Lanka's most beautiful east coast beaches, including Pasikuda and Kalkuda. These beaches are famous for their shallow, calm waters that extend far into the ocean, making them perfect for swimming and wading. The crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches create an idyllic tropical setting.
Pasikuda has developed into a popular resort destination while retaining its natural charm. The east coast season (May-September) makes these beaches ideal when the west coast experiences monsoon weather.
