Hikkaduwa Beach In Sri Lanka

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The beach of Hikkaduwa is situated 98 km from Colombo towards the south of Sri Lanka. This fun coastal town 14 kms from Galle was the first (1960's) of Sri Lanka's beautiful beaches to be discovered by tourists. Snorkeling and diving in the clear waters are the major past-time along this stretch and is the most environmentally friendly way to see the colorful fish that dart around.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The coral sanctuary found on the coast of Hikkaduwa is a large shallow body of water enclosed by a reef, decorated with layers of multi colored corals, witch is home to countless number of colorful fish. Off the beach there is a collection of tine islets surrounded by beautiful coral formations. Many species of fish and large turtles are found here.There are more than four different shipwrecks for diving enthusiasts to explore along with dive shops offering PADI courses and equipment. Plenty of beachfront accommodation and a reputation as the second best surf spot in Sri Lanka by the international board-riding set, and the reason so many visit Hikkaduwa is blatantly clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The resort area has now engulfed two or three villages south of it, and is now a 4km strip of hotels, shops, bars, restaurants and guesthouses. The beaches are nice and wide and swimming is safe here, though the currents are stronger south of Hikkaduwa proper. The impressive coral reef runs just offshore and is still populated by exotic fish and sea turtles. Glass bottomed boats are available for visitors wanting to admire the wonders of the deep while keeping their feet dry! After a shot distance southwards from the center of the reef, it diminishes given rise to a wider sandy bottomed beach with good waves ideal for board surfing and body surfing. You can always rent the necessary equipment needed for snorkeling and surfing. Hikkaduwa is an established tourist destination and the surfing there is quite well known. You won't see the Indonesian style overcrowding here though.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The reef is coral so a first aid kit and booties are handy. Localism is usually not a problem though we have seen some tourists get some hassle. Respect them and they leave you alone pretty much. There are many shops selling Masks, Gems, Jewellery, Batik, Antiques and etc. along with several Buddhist temples, all which add spice to life at Hikkaduwa.</div>

Nilaveli Beach In Sri Lanka

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This world famous Nilaveli beach in Sri Lanka is ideally suited for sun bathing and diving. This shallow beach goes up to half a mile into the sea. A few metres from the coast are a small rocky island good for snorkelling. This, only 8 miles from Trincomalee once possessed the chief slattern in the South- East of Sri Lanka. Be serenaded by the turquoise blue ripples of the Indian Ocean as you step on to the most coveted sands of Sri Lanka's eastern coast. Hemmed by smooth pearl white foam that splashes onto the golden beach, the Nilaveli waves will enthrall you no end.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The calm and beauty are almost therapeutic, the panoramic views are awe- inspiring and anyone who visits is guaranteed to come back for more. Between April and October is the best time to visit the Eastern seashore, but it is always possible to pop into the sea for a swim. Amazingly it is also possible to walk in to the ocean bed for hundreds of feet with the water twirling just around your waist. Those who enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing will find these glistening blue waters and the warm weather ideal as well. The beach has ample water sports facilities including fishing and sea angling. Nilaveli is ideally suited for sun bathing and diving.</span></div>

Unawatuna Beach - In Sri Lanka

<div class="copy--body" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lying behind a crescent of beach lapped by turquoise waters, Unawatuna’s setting is so perfect it could be a cliché. Easily the most popular beach town in the South, Unawatuna doesn’t offer the same opportunities for surfing or diving as other parts of the coast but the waves are good for swimming and the sands are clean and white.</span></div>
<div class="copy--body" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unawatuna has a classic mellow traveller vibe and pretty much every bit of development is aimed at the mostly young visitors who flock here. With the coast road a kilometre away, Unawatuna isn’t plagued by the same kinds of traffic irritations found at many other beach towns. It’s quiet, which only adds to the allure. At night people wander the beach, sipping cold beers at the many simple beachside cafés.</span></div>
<div class="copy--body" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In late 2004, however, this idyllic scene turned horrible. The tsunami caused major damage, washing away many of the guesthouses and killing hundreds. Thanks to generous donations from foreigners who had vacationed here, as well as the efforts of teams of foreign volunteers, who were drawn by Unawatuna’s natural allures, reconstruction happened faster here than any other place in Sri Lanka</span></div>
<div class="copy--body" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, the calamity was not turned into an opportunity to right some of the previous excesses of development. Business owners ignored plans for a setback from the water and rebuilt their places right on the sand. Some guesthouses sit on the high-tide mark. This, coupled with an unsightly pile of rocks dumped in the middle of the beach, detracts from the area’s natural beauty.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px rgb(238, 238, 238); color: #494949; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Matara you will inhale authentic Sri Lankan atmosphere as less tourists are found at this travel destination. 4 km ahead of the city lies the beach Polhena of Matara. For cultural sightseeing you can visit the countries largest lighthouse and the monumental Buddha statue of Weherehena. As intellectual center of the South Matara shows off the high reputed Ruhuna university. Matara is also famous for its delicious curd, which ripens in clay pots.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px rgb(238, 238, 238); color: #494949; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most famous sight in Matara is the Star Fort which you will find just a few hundred metres from the main rampart gate. With its five-pointed star shape and the massive walls it appears like an impressive bastion.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px rgb(238, 238, 238); color: #494949; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Polhena beach is good for snorkelling, bathing and diving, the nearby river Nilwala Ganga gives you the opportunity for boats riding. For temple lovers we recommend to see the impressive Buddha statue in Dondra of the temple Weherehena which is 39 m high in Samadhi posture on a holed rock that was once a hidden temple.</span></div>
