The little bay that grew.

Hiriketiya was once a quieter surf cove on the southern coast. It has gradually become much more popular, especially with surfers and independent travellers, while retaining the compact horseshoe-bay character that made it attractive in the first place.

Today it is better described as an emerging coastal destination than a secret beach.

Surf, swim & slow down

The bay is known for surfing and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. Sea conditions vary, so swimming and water activities should always follow current local conditions and lifeguard/operator guidance.
