Hiriketiya - හිරිකැටිය

Hiriketiya Beach Sri Lanka is located on the southern coast of the island, just next door to Dikwella Beach. Hiriketiya is one of those sleepy Southern beaches that - after being 'discovered' by backpackers - is not so sleepy anymore. Locals can kick themselves for not finding it earlier, but tourism also brings restaurants and hotels and things to do besides swim.
