About Hikkaduwa
Hikkaduwa was Sri Lanka's original beach resort town and still runs on two things: a shallow coral sanctuary a short swim from the sand, where green turtles feed close to shore, and a reef break that draws surfers through the dry season. The town strip runs along the coast road, with the quieter sand at the southern end.

Where we shoot in Hikkaduwa
Green turtles come in to graze in waist-deep water off the main beach, most reliably in the morning.
Glass-bottom boats and shallow reef inside the protected zone; snorkel and half-underwater frames on a calm day.
Away from the strip the sand widens and empties, which is where most couple work happens at sunset.

Practical notes for Hikkaduwa
November to April is the dry, clear window on this coast. Visibility over the reef drops sharply once the south-west monsoon arrives.
The turtles are wild and protected. We keep sessions to the water's edge and do not feed, chase or handle them.
