Hikkaduwa Beach, Southern Province, Sri Lanka
4.0 (2.364 reviews) Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #4 in Southern Province Beaches
Experience of a lifetime
The best place to visit on hikkaduwa. Not far from Bentota Either. One can start seeing the fish at the shore itself. They can be seen in very shallow water as well. Snorkeling equipment is available here for rent at a very competitive price (1500 LKR). It can be used easily for 1 hour. If lucky you can even spot a turtle swimming with you. The fish inside too are very beatiful.

Nice but Sad
Beautiful water, un-littered beach, but so many boats and the fuel fumes were nausiating and spoilt the ambiance and experience. Environmentalists and greenies would shudder. Given that most of the coral is dead and yet to regenerate, the glass bottom boat rides should be stopped. I have seen these corals as a kid in the early 70s it was absolutely alive, vibrantly colourful and beautiful. I did another trip in around 2004 the coral was dead, save for two tiny patches where regrowth was starting, the entire coral garden was chalky grey. The Hikkaduwa beach could benefit from environmentalists focus and action.
