Tucked away on Sri Lanka’s serene east coast, Pasikuda (sometimes spelled Pasikudah) offers travellers a rare blend of warm shallow seas, golden beaches and relaxed coastal charm. Whether you’re arriving, staying a while or linking up with other destinations, the pre-booked taxi service from Colombo Taxi Airport makes your journey comfortable, straightforward and stress-free.

Why Pasikuda is Special

Pasikuda stands out thanks to its calm bay and unusually shallow waters that allow you to wade far out while the sea remains knee-deep for metres. The bay is sheltered by its reef and offers clear views, a laid-back beach vibe and excellent snorkelling potential. Add to this the generally low crowds compared to western-coast resorts, and you have a real gem of Sri Lanka’s east coast.

Attractions & Experiences in Pasikuda

Perfect for slow-paced beach days, Pasikuda invites you to relax by the sea, snorkel above the reef and savour the coastal views. But there’s more to discover:

• Venture to nearby Kalkudah Beach, a 4-km long stretch of sand just a short drive away, perfect for a quieter afternoon.
• Explore the sheltered lagoon ahead of Kallady and take in views of the “singing fish” phenomenon at dusk or dawn at the nearby Batticaloa Lagoon.
• Satisfy your sense of culture at the ancient Kokkadicholai Thanthonreeswarar Temple, an important Hindu shrine set just outside the coast.
• Make time for snorkelling or a glass-bottom boat ride to witness coral formations that stretch across the bay and support marine life.

Easily Reachable Destinations from Pasikuda

Using Pasikuda as your base opens up several worthwhile side-trips.

• Drive to Batticaloa to explore its Dutch fort, cultural heritage and vibrant markets.
• Head inland to reach parts of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle — for instance, the UNESCO site of Polonnaruwa lies within range for a day-excursion.
• Stay longer and explore the islands in the lagoon or quiet beaches further up the east coast for a tranquil escape away from the hubbub.
