About Hikkaduwa

Hikkaduwa is one of Sri Lanka's original beach destinations, known for its coral sanctuary, surf breaks, and lively beach scene. By day explore reefs and turtles; by night enjoy beach bars and fresh seafood along the coast.

Hikkaduwa's shallow coral sanctuary lets you snorkel straight off the beach among tropical fish and sea turtles, while gentle, consistent waves make it a great place to learn to surf. The town has a relaxed, sociable energy — beach bars, seafood grills and golden sunsets — and is an easy stop between Colombo and Galle on the west and south coasts.

Hikkaduwa Highlights

  • Snorkel the coral sanctuary
  • Sea turtle hatchery
