The beach offers a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/tours\/adventure-tours.html\"><strong>exciting activities<\/strong><\/a> to keep visitors entertained. For adventure enthusiasts, these water sports include snorkelling and scuba diving. Nature lovers who want to take a dip in the waters to see the brilliant, colourful aquatic life are enticed by the clean waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to do in Hikkaduwa Beach:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hikkaduwa is known for its mouthwatering seafood curries, soothing massages, Buddhist temples, and watersports including surfing, snorkelling, and diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Narigama Beach:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Narigama Beach is Hikkaduwa&#8217;s most popular beach, with the highest number of visitors. During the months of April to October, the Narigama beach is an ideal spot for surfing. During the winter, the sea is calm. The beach seems like a scene from a movie or a photograph because of the gorgeous colours splashed into the sky by the setting sun. Thus, watching the sunset behind the waters of Narigama Beach is a visual feast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Splash around at the Laguna:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Laguna is a pool of shallow water surrounded on all sides by coral reefs. The waves are broken by these coral reefs, making this section of the beach wave-free. As a result, it&#8217;s a great place to go if you or your kids want to enter the seas. To beat the heat, families travel to this beach to relax and splash around in the cold waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Water Sports:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/activities-hikkaduwa-beach-1024x375.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3914 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/activities-hikkaduwa-beach-1024x375.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/activities-hikkaduwa-beach-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/activities-hikkaduwa-beach-768x281.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/activities-hikkaduwa-beach.jpg 1366w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/375;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snorkelling, surfing, swimming, scuba diving, boating and body surfing are all popular water sports on the Hikkaduwa beach. You can reserve a seat on a boat with a transparent bottom to watch shoals of fish and other fascinating aquatic creatures closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Sunken Ships of Hikkaduwa: See the shipwrecks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re seeking adventure, Hikkaduwa can help you out! Aside from the many different types of fish and sea turtles, the shoreline also has four separate shipwrecks that you can explore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Coral Reef Gardens:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vibrant coral reefs are well worth a visit before climate change disturbs nature&#8217;s delicate equilibrium. The colourful coral reefs of Sri Lanka are home to a diverse array of aquatic animals. They are home to a variety of fish. Sea turtles, in addition to the coral reefs, are another key draw. You can feed these turtles by hand. Turtles frequently hide their eggs in the sands at Hikkaduwa Beach, and if you&#8217;re lucky, you might be able to see new hatchlings make their way into the water!<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hikkaduwa&#8217;s beaches have drawn visitors since the 1960s when it was first discovered.
