This is hands down one of the best beaches I have ever been to. The sand is pristine and the water is crystal clear, which is definitely the highlight of the experience.

Hiriketiya Beach
10 Maxwell Aronson

The beach for surfing is truly remarkable. It is immaculately clean and offers affordable prices. The picturesque view is simply unbeatable. As a first-time surfer, I was fortunate to have a coach who, despite being a young kid, was incredibly skilled and helped us learn quickly. The king coconuts were also a delightful treat.

Talalla Beach

Upon arriving at the beach, I noticed it was quite secluded and there weren't many foreign visitors. The selection of restaurants on the beach was limited and pricey for locals. Nevertheless, the beach itself was stunning and unspoiled.

Dickwella Beach

The beach is a serene and picturesque destination, perfect for those seeking a tranquil retreat. However, it is not recommended for surfing due to the strong currents and waves. Additionally, swimming may not be the most appealing activity here. Nevertheless, the beach boasts crystal clear waters and is ideal for a refreshing jog or a leisurely stroll during sunset. The pristine environment is also worth mentioning, as it is well-maintained and free of litter.
