We are traveling with our two small kids aged five and seven. Are the waters at Dickwella beach calm enough for safe family swimming or should we choose another beach.

✓Accepted Answer

Dickwella main beach has moderate waves and some rip currents so it is not the safest choice for very young children. Instead head straight to the nearby Hiriketiya bay which is a small horseshoe shaped cove with much calmer protected waters. Hiriketiya is perfect for families and is only a five minute tuk tuk ride from Dickwella town. Always supervise children closely as no lifeguards are stationed on these beaches.
