Surfing and late night beach partying Ahangama versus Hiriketiya

Ahangama is the undisputed winner for this specific combination. Hiriketiya is beautiful but the parties shut down early due to noise complaints in the small bay. Ahangama has legendary late-night parties at venues like Lamana and Trax. Crucially, Ahangama also has multiple intermediate surf breaks (like Kabalana and Marshmallows) spreading the crowds out.
