Workation in Hikkaduwa: the essentials
One of the closer southern beach towns to Colombo, Hikkaduwa lies on the coastal railway in Galle District and has been a holiday resort for decades. Its long beach divides into surf breaks and snorkelling reef, sea turtles often come close to shore, and a marine national park protects the coral. The main road behind it is loud and busy, and weekend parties are part of the town's reputation. Locals, package tourists and long-stayers share the place more evenly than in the newer surf villages further east. November to April are the main months. Galle is a short train ride south and Bandaranaike International Airport about 120 km north.
