Hikkaduwa
Hikkaduwa is located on the south west coast of Sri Lanka, a short drive from Hotel Neptune. It is primarily a tourist destination, and serves as a great beach with options to surf, snorkel and enjoy the sun. You can also ride in a glass bottomed boat to view the coral gardens. The town is arranged around the Galle-Colombo main road. It is a busy road with vehicles travelling at high speed; pedestrians and tourists are advised to exercise caution when crossing. In the wake of the tsunami, many of the families who had lost everything were given sewing machines as part of the relief operations. As a result, the town has a plethora of tailors who will custom make shirts, pants, and shorts. It has become the place to go in Sri Lanka to have a Hawaiian shirt fitted and sewn. The area also has a reputation for offering a vibrant nightlife.
