Kalkudah

Kalkudah or Kalkuda (Pronounced Kal-Kuda, Tamil translation rock-bay) is a coastal resort town located about 35 kilometers northwest of Batticaloa, Batticaloa District, Sri Lanka. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami severely damaged Sri Lanka’s tourism sector, causing extensive damage to tourist infrastructure and threatening tens of thousands of livelihoods. The subsequent civil conflict further depressed visitor numbers to coastal resorts on the east coast, including Kalkudah and Pasikudah. After the end of the war and reconstruction efforts, the region has seen renewed investment in tourism infrastructure and a gradual return of visitors.

In recent time, Kalkudah receives plenty of visitors to Pasikudah beach.
