Surfing Near Hiriketiya – A Hidden Gem to Progress Without the Crowds
Just a few minutes from the buzz of Hiriketiya Beach, there’s a quieter corner of the coast — where jungle meets waves and the lineup still feels personal. If you're looking for a surf spot in Sri Lanka that’s perfect for progressing your skills, welcome to our neighborhood.
At Into the Blue Sri Lanka, we’re walking distance from one of the best surf spots for beginner and intermediate surfers on the south coast — and we’re ready to share it with you.
Skip the Crowds, Catch More Waves
Hiriketiya Beach is famous for a reason — a consistent reef break, mellow waves, and a lively surf community. But with its rising popularity, it can get crowded, especially in high season.
Just a short walk from Into the Blue, you'll find a less crowded surf break, ideal for:
Practicing without pressure
Taking your time between sets
Avoiding collisions in the water
Finding space to paddle, pop up, and progress
You won’t find rental shops or surf schools lining this beach — just you, the ocean, and the occasional local surfer.
Perfect for Progression
Whether you're just starting out or moving from whitewater to green waves, this local surf spot is ideal for building confidence:
Gentler take-offs and longer rides
Fewer people in the lineup
A safe, sandy bottom and open space to learn
We can organise private or small group surf lessons — or simply point you toward the best time of day to paddle out.
Walking Distance to Silent Beach
When you're not surfing, you can unwind at the nearby Silent Beach — one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches on Sri Lanka’s southern coast.
Tucked away and still under the radar, Silent Beach offers:

Shade under palm trees
A serene, untouched feel — perfect for relaxing post-surf
All this is less than 10 minutes on foot from your room at Into the Blue.
