Snorkeling is a must. You don't have to swim even 100m to see the awesome corals and the fish . But remember most of the corals are razor sharp. Best time to snorkel is in the morning hours.

Must see place if you like snorkeling , coral reef just meters away from beach , enjoy swimming with variety of fishes and turtles as well .

Nice waves, full of surfers who don't follow the surf rules so be careful. Lots of dogs running around... sea is warm, you can see wild huge turtles and someone always approaches you to buy something

Waves too big this time of year for snorkeling , but nice spot to chill out and dip the toes in the Indian Ocean. Beach faces West, so stick around for sunset .

Beautiful long beach , with lots of bars and restaurants . Great for surfers and young people.Not suitable for kids because of huge strong waves. Spent there a week and loved every second of it!❤️

Get swim with turtles ???? in Hikka Trans, get fine coffee in Salty Swamis, get relax in Joint ????

Look for places with no boats. Be careful as it’s the ocean. Water is clean , you can see fishes near cost :) The beach is wide and clean

If you like a more hipster beach strip vacation, this is ur place. Be safe, the beach boys can be shady. Eat at the rotti shop ,spend Saturday nights @mambos. Don't get robbed while you're wasted!

The strip's Coral Sanctuary used to be home to a beautiful reef & aquatic wildlife . Sadly, a bleaching event in '98 has it nearly extinct. You can snorkel or rent a glass bottom boat for LKR 2500. Read more

Clean Beach and Good for Have a Enjoy your day and have a Great Resturant

Surfers ' paradise. Lots of beach bars with sun lounges and umbrellas. Don't expect the sea to be calm .

Tides are not very high, great place to see corals . Local people are annoying, but nice and friendly . Price for coconuts starts at Rs350 but don't pay more than Rs100

Nice one for swimming . Don't miss a trolley with chickpeas . Get a devilled with chili ! Tigri restaurant is good.

Best surfer instructor on the beach is Malibaba, his spot is near to Paradise restaurant ????

A must visit in down south. Surfer 's paradise! On holidays it's crowded .

Amazing beach ! Giant turtles ! I recommend walking from the beach to the surfing point

A lot of package tourist and annoying local beach boys there. I would recommend to go on the next Narigama beach .

Pretty beach . Tons of tourist infrastructure, but also quite crowded . A decent and convenient beach . Not a secluded paradise.

Nice place for snorkeling , diving and surfing . Beautiful sunsets , but a lot of boats

Love it here ????

Nice outdoor And Beautiful beach

Nice beach to swim , no waves. You can even see big turtles here!

There are some public wash rooms nearby. You can use them to have a bath or change. But not open always. You will have to watch.

A lot of people. 3 old turtle swimming near the shore, you can feed them (algae).

Learn to surf or simply chillax . Avoid the big resort monstrosities. Find a nice and friendly family-run beach guest house . Avg price 2000rupes.
