On some beaches here you can walk a mile into the sea. Passekudah, close by, has a fine bay with clear waters. A popular tourist centre with a modern hotel and other facilities.
All water sports are available here including fishing and sea angling.
Whale watching in the sanctuary is a speciality. The East coast offers infinite possibilities for all kinds of water sports and underwater photography. The many ship-wrecks of the coast are a tempting challenge to the diver.
