Arisimale Beach

Reviewed By RifnazM - Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka

It's a rare beach you can find because of it's location and the sand. Beach sand almost similar to rice thereby it's called as "Arisimalai" in the local language. The crystal clear water and the slight waves will make you curious if you bath there. Highly recommend to visit if you cross Pulmodai, Sri Lanka eventhough it's quiet difficult to be there.

Passikudah Beach

Reviewed By Senaka70 - Colombo, Sri Lanka

Wonderfull beach and safe sea-bathing place at East Coast in Sri Lanka When we go to the east coast in Sri Lanka, we always select Pasikudha beach for sea-bathing and relaxing at the beach. The beach is clean. This warm blue sea is calm (during April in our experience) and can enjoy swimming safely.

Pasikudah Beach

Reviewed By sarathkumaraab - Piliyandala, Sri Lanka

Pasikuda in Easton region of Sri Lanka is one of the most suitable beach for sea bathing in the country like Tangalle and Polhena in southern region with shallow sea with wide sand beach and less sea waves. There are many hotels and guest houses in the area. Most of them are star class & expensive hotels. But you can find budget places around Kalkuda area for group stays. View point of Sunrise is also located in a point between Pasikudah bay and Kaikudah bay. For this view point, not much tourist comes due to unpopularity of the place. But it is an amazing place to visit early in the morning to witness the sunrise. Visitors can walk around the beach and early morning local fisherman’s are catching fish using traditional methods. This place is excellent location to witness the sunrise.

Marble Beach

Reviewed By thesavvyjetsetter - Vancouver, Canada

Checked out Marble Beach while staying at Uppuveli. Well worth the journey! It's tucked in a small bay, the water is calm and gentle and the water is crystal clear. Locals also come to enjoy the beach as well as tourists so it's a nice mix. There are a couple of small hotels with their section but the public section is just as nice. Definitely recommend making a trip to enjoy a full day or afternoon!
