What to do in Pasikudah

Gentle currents and sweet solitude await in Pasikudah, its clear blue bay poised for days spent swimming, snorkelling and stand-up paddleboarding. Head a little further out for a diving experience along the reefs or boat trip to spot pods of whales and dolphins. There are little gems up and down the east coast including Batticaloa, where you can admire beautiful Tamil temples, and if you're up for a meander inland, the ancient city Polonnaruwa is definitely worth a visit.
