Kalkudah Beach, located on Sri Lanka's eastern coast, is a tranquil destination known for its long stretches of pristine sand and clear blue waters. Just 35 km north of Batticaloa, this beach is less crowded compared to other coastal areas, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The calm waters of Kalkudah Bay, protected by offshore reefs, are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities. Its serene environment, coupled with minimal development, offers an unspoiled natural experience, making it a great choice for relaxation and nature lovers.
The northern edge of the cape boasts a curve-shaped Passekudah Beach with splendid white sands lined with luxury accommodations. Back in the days before the tsunami hit the Kalkudah Beach, the beach was dotted with plenty of tourist hotels and resorts. Since the tsunami, the beach has been deserted, mostly occupied by cows, dogs, and occasional fishers and boats. If visitors are looking for a more secluded beach encompassed by natural beauty, Kalkudah Beach should make it to the checklist.
