Beaches
Hiriketiya & Dickwella
Hiriketiya Beach is a compact bay beside Dikwella, suited to beach time and surfing when conditions allow. The bay can offer different wave and swimming conditions across the shoreline, so travellers should assess the sea on the day and match activities to their ability. Its sheltered curve and easy pairing with the surrounding south-coast area make it a flexible short stop.

Beaches
Mirissa
Mirissa Beach curves around a sheltered-looking bay on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, backed by the seaside settlement of Mirissa. Travellers include it for time by the ocean, coastal walks and the town’s relaxed beach setting. Conditions and suitable swimming areas can change, so no water-safety promise is implied.
