tour to gorgeous sunsets

Part of the coast deserves good words, and that south of the Hotel Lanka Supercorals. The home of surfers and those who love to jump on the waves and fight the reverse currents stretching from the shore. I’ll say right away that the ocean is constantly changing the underwater bottom topography near the shore and you never know what awaits you. I was in Hikkaduwa in April 2015, and then with a difference of six months in December 2015. So, during this time the bottom topography pleasantly surprised me. Where in April I was sucked in and carried away from the shore and a surfer saved me, there were shallows on which you could lie while the rolling waves washed you, it was simply paradise. And all this was formed just opposite our favorite restaurant with bookshelves, where we drank trout beer and basked in the sun. In April, be careful of biting midges on this beach, choose the best sun loungers. In general, this is paradise. First of all, it is best to watch the sunset from here. Secondly, the coastline has been changing a lot lately, for example at the Citrus Hotel here. year left only a narrow strip of sand and he joined his neighbor in the misfortune of 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. Because I consider it blasphemous to waste time relaxing by the ocean on yet another wall with towers, especially since this Galle fortress is not unique, the colonialists built them in their image and likeness. Since boredom and bad weather happen on vacation, in this fort I visited three times. I don’t recommend going here in sunny weather; you can escape only in souvenir shops or restaurants, and this, you understand, costs (meaningless souvenirs). What is more interesting on the territory is not the past, but the present. For example, there is a court on the territory. An interesting spectacle, a petition, important lawyers. For Sri Lankans, these are not historical values, but simply buildings. Decide for yourself, we ordered a tuk-tuk, two hours was enough for us.
