We made it to the southern coast of Sri Lanka to chill on the beautiful beaches of Hiriketiya & enjoy the perfect weather. Hiriketiya Beach is the main attraction, with its crescent-shaped bay with golden sand and turquoise waters. It’s somewhat of a hidden gem but known for its consistent waves, making it a great spot for both beginners and experienced surfers.
We enjoyed the local Sri Lankan cuisine, with many restaurants and cafes offering fresh seafood, tropical fruits & shakes. We also explored the nearby beach Dikwella, which is much bigger in size and seems a bit more rugged in comparison.
In the 2nd part of the video we are looking back at our time in Ella: Hiking Ella Rock, Rainstorm, Monkeys & Priya’s Cooking Class.
The atmosphere in Hiriketiya is relaxed and laid-back, making it a perfect destination for those seeking a tranquil beach retreat or wanting to learn to surf. The surrounding palm trees and greenery add to the natural beauty of the area. #srilanka #ceylon #travelvlog #beach #hiriketiya #dikwella #surfing
