The picturesque beaches in Pasikuda and the welcoming people in the area will keep you bound to this East Coast. While the idyllic beach itself is a stunning attraction to explore, you will discover many attractions around you to witness the exquisite beauty of the island. Here are some tips to make your trip easier.
The Beach
The best way to enjoy the beach is to book any of the popular Pasikuda beach hotels close to the shore such as The Calm Resort & Spa Pasikuda. You can get a perfect tan and indulge in sunbathing on a sunlounger, try some water sports or a good swim, and sip a cocktail to complete the experience. In the evenings, treat your eyes to the most magical sunsets as the sky and the sea turns fiery reds and ambers.
Best Time to Visit
The dry seasons fall on May and September for the East Coast, which are the ideal times to visit Pasikuda. Enjoy the tropical vibes with perfect warmth and sunlight, and try snorkeling or scuba diving. If you want to save more, you can pay a visit in the off-season and grab the best deals and discounts.
How to Get There
You can either take the bus or the train if you prefer to take public transportation. The train from Colombo to Batticaloa can take 6-8 hours, and from there, it is about 35 kilometres to the beach. The bus will take 8-9 hours and it is the most convenient way. You can also utilise a private vehicle if you have lots to carry and feel more comfortable in solitude.
