Nestled in the charming town of Dikwella, Sri Lanka, Hiriketiya Beach is a picturesque crescent-shaped cove known for its magical allure and vibrant ambience. Spanning a modest length, this beach is renowned for its fine, golden sands that entice both locals and travelers alike. Hiriketiya Beach boasts a plethora of activities including surfing, swimming, and sunbathing, providing an ideal setting for both adventure seekers and those looking to unwind. Despite its popularity, Hiriketiya Beach has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does welcome dogs, accommodates those with disabilities, and is a haven for surf enthusiasts. Unfortunately, it lacks restroom facilities and does not permit camping or nudity, which encourages a family-friendly atmosphere.

For culinary enthusiasts, Hiriketiya Beach does not disappoint. Nearby restaurants serve a wide range of cuisines, catering to diverse tastes. The Grove serves tantalizing dishes with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. For those craving Italian, Dots Bay House offers a cozy dining experience with their signature wood-fired pizzas. Lastly, the Salt House is known for its innovative fusion cuisine, blending Western and Sri Lankan flavors to perfection.

For a more intimate experience, Jasper House, with its open-air design, invites the sea breeze into each room, promoting a tranquil and immersive stay.

Parking at Hiriketiya Beach can be somewhat challenging due to its increasing popularity among tourists and locals. While there is no designated parking lot available, visitors often find spots along the nearby roads. Parking in these areas is typically free, but it's important to arrive early during peak season to secure a spot as the area can get quite crowded.

A fun fact about Hiriketiya Beach is its recent emergence as a surfing hotspot. Once a hidden gem, it has gained international recognition for its excellent surf conditions, attracting surfers from around the globe. This transformation has breathed new life into the area, turning Hiriketiya into a vibrant coastal community.
