Hikka.. One of the best Beach in Sri Lanka.
The beach of Hikkaduwa is situated in the south of Sri
Lanka. Hikka is one of the best Beaches
attracted by Tourists. The coral sanctuary found along the coast of Hikkaduwa is a large shallow body of water enclosed
by a reef, decorated with layers of multi colored corals, and is home to countless
numbers of vibrantly colored fish. Off the beach there is a collection of small
islets surrounded by beautiful coral formations. Many species of fish and large
turtles are found here.
So Surfing & diving in the clear
waters are a major past-time along this stretch and is the most environmentally
friendly way to see the colorful fish that dart around. For those interested in
the sea, it is at its best for diving and snorkelling from November to March
when the visibility is generally good. Hikkaduwa’s Coral Sanctuary, established
in 1988, ensures the underwater world is accessible to all whether they can
dive or not. Snorkeling in the shallow waters only 200m off shore is
possible, and although the corals are dead in some places you can still
come across a number of brightly-colored fish as you float a few meters above.
The less adventurous can always take a glass-bottomed boat ride, though this is
environmentally questionable due to the pollution and negative effects on the
already depleted corals.
Hikkaduwa is the kind of laid-back place that tourists tend to fall in love with. And Join with us. to get the perfect beach experience for those who just want to laze, swim, surf and shop through their holiday...
