Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka

This lively resort almost on the southern tip of west coast of Sri Lanka is well-known as a great venue for snorkelling over its wonderful coral reef, and surfing the waves. Add to that a near-perfect beach and some buzzing nightlife, and you have the perfect combination for fun on your Sri Lanka holiday.

Hikkaduwa is a surfer's paradise. There are plenty of beach front guest houses to accommodate the surfers who flock to the area. February and March are the best times to experience ideal surfing conditions, and there is also professional tuition available for those who want to take up the sport.

The multi-culture of Hikkaduwa is everywhere, in the restaurants and clubs. Reggae music is popular here, much to the delight of many tourists on their Sri Lankan holiday.

Tourists shopping for souvenirs should look out for the precious jewellery on offer.

When the sun goes down, the beach empties and everyone heads off to party; there is a good choice of bars, clubs and music, with Bob Marley to be heard wherever tourists may choose to go.
