Hiriketiya is beautiful but very busy with surfers and cafes. Are there any quiet, hidden coves within walking distance where we can just read a book in peace.

Yes! Walk over the western headland (past the left point break). A 15-minute walk through a small jungle path leads you to Dickwella Beach. It is a massive, 2km long stretch of golden sand that is almost entirely empty. The water is calm and perfect for swimming, and there are no loud cafes.

If you walk east instead, you will find Kudawella beach, which is even quieter and has a cool blowhole nearby.

Dickwella is amazing. There is also a tiny cove called Blue Beach Island about 10 mins away by tuk-tuk, great for snorkeling.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Will check out Dickwella this afternoon.
