This beach is truly one-of-a-kind and is definitely one of the top spots to purchase fresh fish. The view is absolutely breathtaking, thanks to the stunning lagoon and bustling port. It's highly recommended to visit in the morning, as you'll also have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of sailboats passing by.

Narigama Beach
8 Mateusz Kowalski

We stumbled upon the most exquisite beach in Hikkaduwa. Its vast expanse of sandy shoreline is unparalleled. The tranquility is unparalleled as it is not overcrowded. The sunset is a breathtaking sight to behold. However, one may struggle to find a shaded spot during the day. The waves are quite strong, making it an ideal spot for surfing enthusiasts, but not particularly ideal for leisurely swimming.
