Accepted Answer

Yes, Dickwella beach is significantly better for swimming if you want to avoid surfers entirely. It is a massive, wide stretch of golden sand protected by reefs, making the water extremely calm.

The best part is that you do not have to choose. You can easily walk between Hiriketiya and Dickwella in fifteen minutes, enjoying the surf vibe in one and the peaceful swimming in the other.

Hiriketiya is a horseshoe bay that gets very crowded with beginner surfers near the shore. Dickwella offers complete peace and safety for families with young children who just want to paddle.
