Silent Beach
10 Nikolai Kozel

This beach is one of the best ones you'll find between Tangalle and Dikwella. The ocean is usually calm, and there are no hazardous areas on the beach, although it's important to be cautious around the rocks. There is a specific spot where you can see some stones and waves crashing. Additionally, the beach has a few great beach-bars and restaurants, and the parking situation is good, although space is limited.

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
10 Kaelen Jovik

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
8 Nina Rosales

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.

Blue Beach
