Passikuda beach (Sri Lanka) is located outside the Pasikuda settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Passikuda beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"This beach is absolutely amazing for taking a dip in the sea. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful golden color."

Nasaga Yanka

"Nestled on the eastern coast of Sri Lanka, lies a breathtakingly beautiful beach that is bound to leave you in awe. The pristine waters are so crystal clear that you can't resist taking a dip in them. The shallow waters make it perfect for a relaxing swim, and you'll never tire of it. The best part is that you can easily reach the coral reef just a few hundred meters away, m..."
