Dikwella is a quaint little village on the beautiful southern coast of Sri Lanka. Still hidden by mainstream tourism, the gorgeous beaches, and the calm tropical lifestyle draw surfers and tourists from all over the world. Dikwella is as similar as you can to the authentic life of the southern Sri Lankan village. Shady coconut plantations, picturesque stilt fishermen, and white, deserted beaches are the perfect backdrop for relaxing holidays in Sri Lanka.
At Dikwella you'll find Hiriketiya beach (also named Hiri) which is a fantastic little bay to chill out or swim. The water is wonderfully blue and there are a few nice bars by the sand. Wave at Hiriketiya Beach is becoming popular, so more and more surfers can find Hiri as a spot to hang out for a while. Rent a board and maybe get a lesson straight from the beach boys. This area is very short, so you can see it all in two days. But if you want to rest, enjoy the tasty food here, and surf to catch a few nice waves, stay a little longer in Dickwella. In any case, Dickwella is a fine starting point for exploring the entire southern coast of Sri Lanka.
South Coast of Sri Lanka will be a highlight of your trip with the breathtaking beaches, wonderful scenery and amazing villas, South Coast or else South of Paradise is the ideal destination for those seeking carefree holidays next to the beach.
