User reviews

"Nilwella Beach, located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, is a fantastic destination. Blue Beach Island is conveniently located nearby. The sunrise view is truly stunning, and the crystal-clear water of the sea is a sight to behold. Sand dunes connect the beach to the island, adding to the natural beauty of the area."

Lysandra Renata

"There is a stunning hidden beach located near Dickwella that can be a bit tricky to locate. The peaceful surroundings make it a truly beautiful place, perfect for swimming in the sea. There is also a small island connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand, which is easily accessible by foot."
