Passekudah Beach

Passekudah has a fine stretch of white-sand beach with extremely shallow water making it perfect for safe bathing. The public beach at the southern end of the bay attracts local residents who come to enjoy the bathtub temperatures and the refreshments served under the young coconut palms. The northern stretch of the beach is parcelled up between the resorts. Sharp coral mixed in with the sand is something of a hazard if wading into the water barefoot.
