Hotels in Pasikuda Beach

Pasikuda beach is not as popular as many other beaches in Eastern coast so there are no luxury resorts or hotels near the area. Hotels in Pasikuda mostly consists of small guest houses, family run small hotels etc. Even the nearest town of Batticaloa doesn't have a good choice of hotels for luxurious accommodations. If you have the necessary connections you can reserve a circuit bungalow belonging to the coconut board which is pretty close to the beach. Pasikuda is famous only for its beach and it is very rarely thats a visitor spends more than a few hours in Pasikuda, which is the main reason for the lack of hotels in the area. I have listed down some of the hotels and guest houses found near Pasikuda for your convenience.

If you know of more good hotels in the area, Please mention in the comments section so I can add it to the listings.

Pasikuda Beach in Sri Lanka

Pasikuda beach although popular among locals and well known among locals isn't a place frequented by locals or foreigners. Which is a bit strange because it is one of the safest beaches for sea bathing in the east coast. Because of the lack of crowd is very clean most of the time and the nave does a good job of keeping it clean. It has the basic facilities like fresh water bathing etc as well making it an ideal place for a sea bath. You want find any shops or traders unless you go on a weekend and even if you go on a weekend you want find many people. There are no luxury hotels in the are and you have to do with small hotels or houses rented out for visitors. The prices are very reasonable and you can get it very cheaply especially if you happen to visit on week day. The closest major town is Batticaloa which is about 20-30 minutes ride in a vehicle.Although the road is a bit tricky now it is being constructed and should be finished by 2011. Lack of hotels in the Pasikuda area is one of the major reasons why tourism is not taking off in that beach but some of the land are already bought by some hotel groups so in the future we are bound to see an increase in tourism in the Pasikuda beach.
