Narigama Beach, Hikkaduwa

First of all, it is best to watch the sunset from here. Secondly, the coastline has been changing a lot lately, for example, this year the Citrus Hotel only had a narrow strip of sand left and it joined its unfortunate neighbor, the Coral Hotel. The ocean washes sand in one place and washes it in another. For now, surfing spots are working, but it’s not a fact that this will continue to be the case. As for the comparisons with Marissa. In Marissa, the sand is perfect, the waves, although sudden, are not dangerous. Here the sand is loose and shaky, the shore has a large slope, as a result of which the wave pulls the driftwood into the ocean, there are also a lot of stones at the bottom, although not sharp, but the shock wave throws them towards the shore and can hit you in the leg (tested on myself). Regarding sand flies, they are not noticed during the season, but in the rainy season they are very numerous (tested on myself). The fate of this beach is a big question in the three years that I have known it, it has changed a lot.
