Located 180 kilometers from Colombo, on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Dikwella is a stunning long and peaceful sandy beach for inspiring morning walks, salty rejuvenating baths, and of course surf! It’s the perfect spot to relax and replenish away from the crowded and noisy touristic beaches, but still close enough for a fun night out. You can find colorful traditional boats at the end of the beach and local fishermen are easy to spot.
Dikwella town is just 500 meters away, a bustling local small town where you can experience an authentic Sri Lankan lifestyle with its exciting fruit and veg market, and local fish and coconut vendors. It is just a 5-minute ride away from the famous Hiriketiya beach with its modern bars and restaurants where to roam around the surf community and enjoy a party night.
Dikwella is the perfect south coast stop for your Sri Lankan tour out of the beaten tracks! Splendid beach and authentic local community are not the only gems this spot has to offer; beautiful temples, a lively fish market, lighthouses, and a giant Buddha (the biggest in the country!) to discover.
