The Kudahs are two famous bays that are located side by side In the small KalKudah town. Kudah is a Tamil word that describes a small bay. KalKudah is a coastal town which used to be quite the tourist destination before the war. Now it is a quiet town occupied mostly by people who used to work at the local hotels, before they were destroyed one way or another by the war and the tsunami.

The PssKudah beach is calm and quite nice to wallow around in. Nothing to write home about, though. The tsunami in 2004 had changed its face quite noticeably and most of the powdery beach had been stripped. A bunch of army personnel were setting up a large concert and carnival near the beach.. Light rain prevented us from taking our cameras.
