Turtle conservation
Rekawa is known for its Turtle Conservation Project where visitors can admire a variety of migratory turtle species, undisturbed in their natural habitat. Tours are organised at night where photography is not allowed so that it does not startle the turtles as they lay eggs, hatch or make their way towards the ocean. This organisation provides turtles with a safe space away from natural predators on a clean beach.
Hiriketiya beach
One of Sri Lanka’s most beautiful beaches, Hiriketiya beach is currently a surfing hotspot complemented by golden shores, coconut trees and breathtaking waves all ending with clear blue waters. The bay is a 500m horseshoe shaped cove with reef that allows surfers of all levels to catch a few waves and have an unforgettable time.
