Explore Passikudah

Pasikudah is a serene coastal resort town on Sri Lanka's east coast, famous for having one of the longest stretches of shallow coastline in the world. Its name, meaning "Green-Algae-Bay," perfectly describes the vibrant turquoise waters that remain calm and waist-deep for hundreds of meters offshore.

Pasikudah is unique because you can walk nearly a kilometer into the ocean without the water rising above your chest.
