Things to do in Pasikuda - Enjoying the East coast!

If you are in Pasikudah you must make time to spend time on the beach basking in the sun, with the golden coloured sand underneath your feet with the breeze tingling your skin. You can enjoy a cool Thambili (king coconut) while you look at the waves extending from the horizon of the Indian ocean

If you are experienced and feeling daring you can try the jetski by yourself but if you are not keen on riding it alone you can ride at the back with an instructor steering you. This thrilling activity is bound to get your heart racing while you feel the warm wind in your face brushing away your hair as you soar over waves making splashes behind you.
