The beach is quite lovely, although it doesn't seem to be a popular spot. However, if you venture out among the rocks, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of some vibrant fish, including ikiri, and a variety of other shallow water species. The location is also quite pleasant.

This is a secluded beach located in a small bay near Dodanduwa port. The beach is clean and lacks any amenities. Compared to Hikkaduwa, there are hardly any people around. While sand fleas were present, they did not bother me for some reason.
