Pasikudah has become a popular tourist destination amongst locals and foreigners alike. This is because Pasikudah is known to have one of the longest stretches of shallow coastline in the world. In other words, people walk kilometers into the sea because the water is only a few inches deep and the current is relatively weak compared to the rest of Sri Lanka's coasts.

Sightseeing

largest ancient Rainwater Reservoir of the island, Parakrama Samudraya. At 2100 hectares (5600 acres) it is more like an inland sea. In the rainy season the rainwater reservoir is in its full splendour. In its full capacity & full flow, with the roar of the waves & the wind & the spray of water crashing onto the car, the drive around the 14km long bund is more like a drive along a highway by a beach with sweeping winds.
