Una pequeña playa con excelentes olas para surfear, mucha vegetación y algunos lugares agradables para comer y relajarse. Hiriketiya es una de esas playas del sur que, tras ser “descubierta” por mochileros, ya no es tan tranquila como antes. Los locales pueden lamentar no haberla encontrado antes, pero el turismo también trae restaurantes, hoteles y actividades más allá de nadar.

Hiriketiya, también conocida como Hiri, es una bahía en forma de herradura ubicada en la costa sur de Sri Lanka, a aproximadamente 1 hora al este de Weligama. Si planeas un viaje por la costa sur de Sri Lanka, Hiriketiya es una visita obligada.
