Location
Hiriketiya Beach
This recently discovered bay is described by all who visit as ‘Paradise’. Hiriketiya Bay is, without doubt, the premier beach of South Sri Lanka. Away from the commercialized tourist zones, Hiriketiya bay feels like a home away from home. Nearby undiscovered bays make the far south coast a hidden gem of swimming, walking and biking trails. Prevailing easterly or westerly winds are kept away by the horseshoe shape of the bay, making swimming and surfing conditions safe all year round.
It is located 22 km (14 mi) east of the city of Matara. Dickwella is noted for its long sandy beach which is protected by headlands, reefs, and sand-bars, making it safer for swimming. Distance from Tuk Tuk Bay - 20 minutes (11 km).
Rekawa Turtles Beach
Five species of turtles struggle ashore to lay their eggs on Rekawa Beach. Groups are led to nest sites to witness these beautiful creatures. some nights the commotion can be deeply disturbing for the turtles. Until the management of the project improves, it's difficult to recommend these tours wholeheartedly.
Turtles nest here all year round, but the main season is April to July. The rarest turtles to sight are the giant leatherbacks. The company uses certified guides and spotters; note that torches and flash photography are prohibited.
