Самые красивые пляжи Шри-Ланки — топ 5

 

There are about 50 beaches on the island of Ceylon tea ! Most of which are known to tourists: the infrastructure is developed here, the city or village is easily accessible by public transport (and taxis), there are hotels, cafes, restaurants and shops with household goods. Some resorts can be called among the best in the world. And in some places you should not go even for a couple of days.

But among such a variety, one can always distinguish the most beautiful beaches of Sri Lanka, where the landscape is fully consistent with the picture from the advertising booklet. But live is better! A chic long, sandy beach, slender coconut palms tend to the blue sky and the bright sun, and the ocean wave runs noisily against the golden sand.

Kilometers of almost deserted beaches or cozy coves where tourists from all over the world rest. Places for surfing, underwater «hunting», diving, volleyball, team cricket. Or calm lagoons for contemplation of the magnificence of nature. Read where the most beautiful beaches of Sri Lanka are, where you should definitely spend your vacation.

Top 5 best beaches in Sri Lanka

Brief review — the best of the best! Pay attention to the weather on the island. Depending on the season, the seasonality of the resort changes.

Hikkaduwa beach

Hikkaduwa is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. The coastline is divided into two parts: Narigama Beach and Hikkaduwa Beach. Both sides are beautiful in their own way. And to be more precise, visiting a popular village, you can enjoy both secluded (or romantic walks), and party life and active pastime.

Narigama beach

The endless beach of Narigama is not crowded. There are tourists, especially during the season, but the scale of the coastline allows you to disperse over the area so that the rest will take place in the most relaxed atmosphere even during the peak season.

The beautiful Indian Ocean can surprise not only with impressive expanses, but also with the power of the waves. Swimming is best near the shore, where it is fun to resist the flow. Special daredevils swim beyond the waves, enjoying swimming «for speed» and muscle training.

Hikkaduwa beach

Continuation of Narigama — Hikkaduwa beach. There are more people here, but the entertainment is more diverse.

Palm trees with coconut and mangrove trees have grown along the coast. Among which cafes, restaurants and hotels fit organically.

The highlight of Hikkaduwa Beach is the coral reef.
Starfish, urchins, turtles, schools of fish among corals. You can see all the elegance of the marine world with a mask and a snorkel. And for the most inquisitive — diving equipment for rent.

Hikkaduwa is one of the best surf spots in Sri Lanka .

Season and weather

The best time to visit Hikkaduwa is during the autumn and winter months. The southwest coast is open to the public from November to March. The rainy season begins in late spring and summer.

In the high season, the air temperature is + 30C, the ocean is + 28C.

Unawatuna beach

Beach in Unawatuna

Unawatuna Beach  is located in the village of the same name. Unawatuna is located near the resort of Hikkaduwa. Therefore, you can visit the two most beautiful beaches of Ceylon within 1 day.

Unawatuna is by no means a wild beach, as it is often written about in a guide to Sri Lanka. The information is outdated by 10 years or more. The beach is comfortably located on a coral reef, which formed a small bay.

Calm Unawatuna attracts couples and lovers of a quiet, to some extent homely, rest. Rows of hotels and coastal cafes are closely huddled together. This village is a bit like European resorts.

Mirissa beach

The coastline of the city of Mirissa is divided into two beach areas: Secret beach and Mirissa beach.

Mirissa beach is often referred to as the «pearl of the island» in advertisements. The heavenly picture of landscapes is a confirmation of this.

secret beach

The secret beach is not crowded, but still every guest of the city, sooner or later, learns about the mysterious place to relax.

Interesting location of the secret beach. As in Unawatuna, part of the coastline is surrounded by corals. That create a natural barrier to the power of the ocean. Frequent visitors to Secret beach are families with children.

Mirissa beach

Mirissa’s wide beach is more popular with tourists. Numerous cafes, restaurants, bars and hotels on the first coastline. The picture of Eden’s pleasure is attractive — lying in a sun lounger on the white-golden sand, enjoying stunning views of the ocean.

This part of the beach is used for surfing.

And they go to Mirissa for whales. This is where the whale safari takes place during the mammal migration season.

Season

The best time to visit Mirissa and attractions in the area is from November to April.

Dikwella beach

Dikwella is located on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Unlike many resorts on the island, the ocean off the coast of Dikwella is calm. Waves of impressive height break on the natural protection built by nature from corals. A pleasant wave reaches the shore, which is so good to plunge into, hiding from the scorching sun of the tropics.

Trincomalee beach

The only beach from our selection, which is worth a visit during the summer months. The season on the northeast coast begins in May. High season: June, July, August. When it rains in the south and west, and the sun appears on the slope for periods, this side of the island has ideal weather.

Unlike party Hikkaduwa and noisy Mirissa, people go to Trinco for silence. In the vicinity of the city there are two popular beaches — Upuveli and Nilaveli.

upupeli

Upuveli is a small village, the main advantage of which is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka.

Another plus of the resort is a budget holiday. Local cafes with traditional food for $ 1-3, inexpensive guest houses and hotels, all this brings the island’s guests closer to the measured life of the islanders.

Not crowded beaches, refreshing ocean and hot sun will leave you in captivity for a long time.

Nilaveli

Literally 10 minutes from Upuveli is Nilaveli Beach.

Wide coastline, clean sand, relatively calm ocean. The preference for Trincomalee beaches is given by guests from Europe. Therefore, it is not often possible to meet Russian-speaking tourists on the beaches.

The charm of Nilaveli lies in the fishing boats, the local fishermen and the calm, homely atmosphere.
