Batticaloa is a city in the Eastern province of Sri Lanka. It is the seat of the Eastern University of Sri Lanka. It is on the east coast, 69 miles south by south east of Trincomalee, and is situated on an island.
Batticaloa is a quiet little place, with a small but well-preserved Dutch fort surrounded by a large lagoon on three sides. The constantly shifting views of land, lagoon and ocean lend Batticaloa an interesting character. A visit to the Kalkudah and Passekudah beaches is a must in the route from Arugam Bay upto Polonnaruwa.
