Home to Bone Island, Puliyan Theevu Island and Buffalo Island, the Batticaloa Lagoon is one of the best East coast attractions. Hop across islands via the bridges that connect them or enjoy a boat ride along the lagoon. The possibilities are endless.

The Batticaloa Lagoon has highly picturesque landscapes and scenic views of the ocean, with many diverse species of exotic flora and fauna, especially a wide variety of migratory, resident, and endemic birds.

The Batticaloa lagoon stretches for 56km between Batticaloa and Ampara. Being more relaxed, unpolluted and quiet, you can recharge and disconnect, away from the hustle and bustle.
