@🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, Bentota help Tota 🛶 Boat tour Madu River maduganga lake Mangrove Mangrove Cave Forests grow in special ecosystems in tropical and subtropical coastal belts. The root system of mangrove forests is developed, and the sea is submerged at high tide, and a lush forest is formed at low tide. Cruise ships pass under bridges and train tracks, and visitors occasionally need to bow down. This is the entrance of the Madu River into the Indian Ocean. It is also a holy place for bird watching, and there are also many aquatic animals such as lizards, crocodiles, monkeys, birds and jellyfish.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Hikkaduwa Beach, and I must say it left an unforgettable impression on me. This beautiful beach destination, located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, is renowned for its great surfing conditions, high waves, and breathtaking sunsets. Here's my review of Hikkaduwa Beach.One of the standout features of Hikkaduwa Beach is its reputation as a surfer's paradise. If you're a fan of riding the waves, this is the place to be. The consistent swells and high waves make it an ideal spot for both beginners and experienced surfers. Whether you're looking to catch your first wave or conquer a challenging break, Hikkaduwa Beach offers an exhilarating surfing experience that won't disappoint.The beach itself is simply stunning. The powdery golden sand stretches along the coast, inviting visitors to relax and soak up the sun. The crystal-clear turquoise waters provide a refreshing escape from the heat, and the surrounding palm trees create a picturesque backdrop. Hikkaduwa Beach is well-maintained and clean, making it a pleasant environment for beachgoers.One of the highlights of my visit to Hikkaduwa Beach was witnessing the mesmerizing sunsets. As the sun begins its descent, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, painting an awe-inspiring picture. Watching the sun sink below the horizon while casting its warm glow on the waves is a truly magical experience. I highly recommend staying until dusk to witness the beauty of the Hikkaduwa Beach sunset.In terms of amenities, Hikkaduwa Beach offers a range of facilities to ensure visitors have a comfortable stay. There are several surf schools and rental shops available, providing equipment and lessons for those looking to learn or improve their surfing skills.

The beach of Bangtota under dusk is really beautiful. And it happens to be dusk, many tourists have gone back one after another, the whole beach is particularly small, and it is perfect to quietly enjoy the sunset.

The coast of Unawatuna is very long, and tourists walk on the beach or watch fishing boats return. The fresh big fish is in love, but unfortunately it can't be cooked. There are small streets near the beach, stylish and romantic, suitable for taking pictures and buying small objects. It is not far from the ancient city of Galle to take TUTU, it is best to stay overnight.

Coconut grove hill, located east of Merissa, far from the beach, is a seagull that stretches into the Indian Ocean, famous for its coconut trees. I don't know who found it here at first, but because of the moving scenery here, it quickly became an Internet celebrity attraction and appeared on various social platforms or websites. It's really beautiful to take pictures [scenery]
