TravelsFar from the rush of crowded beach towns, Dikwella on Sri Lanka’s southern coast invites you into a world of quiet shores, local life, and spiritual landmarks. The main beach in Dikwella is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and evening strolls. Just a few minutes away lies Hitiketiya Beach, a small, crescent-shaped bay popular for surfing, yoga, and laid-back cafés hidden among palm trees that makes a true tropical hideout. Dikwella is also home to the impressive Wewurukannala Viharaya, where Sri Lanka’s tallest seated Buddha statue rises 50 meters high. The temple features colorful murals and passages that explore Buddhist teachings and stories. With its blend of natural beauty, spiritual heritage, and a slow, welcoming vibe, Dikwella and its surroundings offer a perfect mix of rest, reflection, and coastal adventure.
