Akurala Beach is a beautiful beach in Hikkaduwa, about 5 km from the site of the Telwatta Bird Sanctuary. It is a sandy beach with a coral reef barrier that creates a swimming area with calm and shallow water. Spending quality time in the evenings, especially at sunset, is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
