Activities

White sand, shallow waters, coral reefs and palm trees make the Passikudah and Kalkudah beaches idyllic places to spend the day on the Indian Ocean. Passikudah Bay’s shallow waters offer a perfectly safe environment for learning how to swim and therefore a popular bathing spot for families with children. There are also possibilities to snorkel, to fish and have some boat rides around.
