Hiriketiya

Hiriketiya Beach, also known as Hiri Beach, is a hidden gem on Sri Lanka’s southern coast near Dickwella town, just 20 minutes from Tangalle in the Hambantota district. This recently discovered inlet features soft, light yellow sand and shimmering blue waters, surrounded by tall, thin palm trees. Despite its remote location, the beach is a favorite among both locals and tourists for its tranquil atmosphere and year-round pleasant climate.

The bay’s safe and gentle waves, guarded by a rocky mouth, attract surfers and swimmers alike. Hiriketiya Beach is known for its optimal surfing conditions, with high enough waves yet protected from strong winds, making it popular among instructors and beginners. The area also draws young crowds interested in hiking excursions and keeping fit by practicing the sport of surfing.

The stunning combination of blue waters, yellow sand, green surroundings, and ever-changing skies makes Hiriketiya Beach a true pearl of Sri Lanka. From being a remote beach, it has transformed into a dream destination for beach lovers and tourists alike.
