Hikkaduwa Beach

1 of 5

Hikkaduwa is a small town located 100 kilometers south of Colombo. The most popular resort in Sri Lanka offers hotels for all tastes and budgets, as well as clean beaches and fun vacations. The tourist infrastructure in the area is quite advanced. The city beach is well-known for the appearance of sea turtles, which you may feed with your hands. The local coral reef and sunken ships are of huge interest to divers.

Hikkaduwa Beach Surfers flock to the resort because of the consistent waves and the level bottom with no unsafe sections. Those who have never tried to surf before can enroll in the "young fighter course" right here. Divers go several kilometers deep into the ocean to examine highly inhabited underwater reefs, which include a large number of ships that have sunk there throughout time.

Wildlife enthusiasts can observe the birth of a new generation of big tortoises on the beach or hand-feed the adults as they compete for the yummy morsel.

There are sun loungers and umbrellas near the beach cafes where you may have a bite to eat seafood, lie in the shade, appreciate the ocean's vastness, and take part in a sunset party.
