Dalawella beach
This might be one of the most famous beaches in Sri Lanka and a lot of instagrammers have been posting these kind of pictures. So I had to see what the fuzz was about! And it was gorgeous in real life as well. Had to go back several times actually, because I liked it so much. The swing is a lot of fun and a good workout, but you have to pay 500 rupee to use it (then we could use it as many times as we wanted). We also got to see two turtles swimming around close to the beach during sunset, so cool! You will find this beach close to Unawatuna.
Hikkaduwa beach
This beach is a long beach along Hikkaduwa and this photo is from the part near the hotel Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon. It was really beautiful to watch the sunset from this spot. And this beach also has a lot of turtles coming close to the beach to eat seaweed at specific times during the day. So cool to watch those animals, I have never seen them out in the wild before. Great beach, but a bit crowded.
Blue beach
This might be the best place to go swimming because this is a bay without big waves. We spent a day here after meeting some travellers who recommended it. We liked it a lot:) It has a few beach restaurants and it is nice to go for a walk around the area. This place is not far from Tangalle.
Mirissa beach
A great beach with lots of places to eat and things to do. The waves are pretty big, but we got ourselves a bodyboard and had some fun with that. While we were staying here we also went whale watching and got to see the blue whale. In one way a really cool experience, but in another way.. There were 20 boats full of tourists all following each other to find the whales. So it wasn't as peaceful as I was hoping for.
Dewata beach
This is the perfect place to go surfing for beginners! We spent several days here and had a lot of fun. There are lots of surf schools here where you can rent a surfboard and get help with the technique. The sunset is also really beautiful from this beach :) You can find it between Galle and Unawatuna.
Ranlakshmi Paradise beach
This is a hidden gem we found because we stayed at the hotel next to it, Eva Lanka hotel. It is close to Tangalle. It lived up to the name and I got all the paradise vibes I could dream of from this place. It has a swing from the palm tree and a small cafe with smoothies and some seafood. It was also really nice to go bathing here, the waves were not so big. And the best part, there were almost no people here! A great place to spend the day :)
