The first area to be developed for tourism, this is still one of
the most popular of our beach resorts. Hikkaduwa is famous for its coral and sub
tropical fish.
The reef, which runs parallel to the shore and is only a few metres
below the water, can be explored with snorkel and flippers, or in a glass-bottomed
boat. There are several wrecks in the area which offer interesting dives. Scuba
equipment and the services of licensed instructions are on hire from PADI centers.
A little further down the coast, theres good surf for board or body-surfing.
There is a generally a community of international surfers in and around Hikkaduwa.
If there's a place you've stayed or something you've done, but we haven't listed, review it for us!
