Pasikuda's bay is known for its long stretch of shallow coastline, where in good weather you can walk about a kilometre out to sea over a clear sandy bottom; the weak currents make it good for safe swimming, windsurfing and water skiing, and the surrounding seas have coral and reef fish to explore. Nearby are Kalkudah Beach, the Batticaloa Dutch Fort and lagoon, and the Kallady Bridge.
