Beach Activities at Hikkaduwa
With its unique beach culture, Hikkaduwa has long been the most popular diving and surfing area in Sri Lanka. In the centre of Hikkaduwa, a lagoon also creates a beautiful and safe snorkelling area. Further south, where the currents are stronger, surfing is the dominant water activity. The impressive coral reef runs just offshore and is populated by exotic fish and sea turtles that come ashore on this beach to lay their eggs.
Swimming
The sea currents around Hikkaduwa can be very strong and can make swimming quite dangerous at times. Parents with young children should be particularly aware of this. Fortunately, the Bright Sunshine Guest House is within a short two-minute stroll to a safe beach for swimming in the sea, or you could take a trip to the Coral Sanctuary at Hikkaduwa or go down the coast to Unawatuna instead.
Diving
Hikkaduwa has diverse range of diving spots near by and there is an abundance of marine life and dive sites to suit all levels of experience. Big groupers, barracudas, moray eels, dogtooth tunas, manta rays, lobsters & turtles are often to be seen just off the coast at Hikkaduwa. A large number of wrecks have floundered off the coast in this area over the years, adding to the range of dive sites available. The diving season in the Sri Lankan south west runs from November to April and there are a number of well-established diving centres from which to choose with Blue Deep being one of the best!
Surfing
Hikkaduwa is a renowned surfing destination on the international circuit and annually attracts surfers from all over the world. There are plenty of good surfing points and although most of them are reef breaks, none of them are risky since they all have a flat deep bottom. The wave size ranges up to 3 metres during the season. The main point, known as the main reef has 'A-frame' shaped waves, which can be surfed in both directions.
