Tucked away along Sri Lanka’s idyllic east coast, the town of Passikudah offers a laid-back getaway in which to enjoy all the sun, sand and surf your heart desires.
Unwind on Passikudah Beach
The sun-kissed shore is undoubtedly the main allure of Pasikudha. Beach hotels make ideal accommodation choices since you can begin and end your day on the sand; work on that holiday tan, play on the shore or swim out to sea which is quite safe since it’s protected by a reef.
Snorkelling & Diving
An ideal way to witness the underwater wonders of the area is to head off on snorkelling adventures to see the colourful coral and marine life that call these waters home. Local resorts the likes of Amethyst Resort Passikudah also offer diving excursions and the needed PADI International Open Water certification for beginners.
Enjoy Water Sports
Of course, there are many more water sports in Passikudah too; you can try some water-skiing, windsurfing, canoeing, sailing a Hobie Cat as well as jet scooter and banana boat rides. Those in search of a more “relaxed” activity though one that’s equally thrilling can try deep sea fishing too.
Distinctive Dining
Dining in Passikudah can be quite unique too especially when it entails having dinner on the beach with that special someone under a star-filled sky. You can even find resorts that look to offer more romantic options including the chance to enjoy a private candlelight dinner on a floating pontoon!
