Hikkaduwa

Hikkaduwa is the main surf destination and attracts surfers from Australia, UK, Japan, USA, and many more countries. There are up to four main surf points with clear, warm water in the Hikkaduwa area. Although most of them are reef breaks, none of them are risky. All spots have a deep bottom and flat reef.

The size of the waves range from two to seven feet during the season time. The main point is called “main reef” which has an “A” frame shaped wave which surfers can ride both the right hander and a left hander. One of the main reasons for Hikkaduwa’s popularity is due to the selection of budget and luxury accommodation.

Hikkaduwa was a fishing village 30 years ago and since the early 1980’s, it has become one of the major tourist attractions in Sri Lanka. It’s famous for its natural beauty, wide sandy beaches, marine reserve, crystal clear waters, and hot sun.

All of these make it a desired destination on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Tourists stream to Hikkaduwa mainly for the range of water sports like surfing, scuba diving, kite surfing, and much more.
