We speak your language!(Amila town house )"12 minute from Hikkaduwa" .it is town house 150 meters from Rathgama beach .it is famous place for tourism.,specially surfing and fishing and fresh sea food.this place also very close to the river. It is nice place to see the beauty of Srilanka."12miniutes " from town which is famous tourist destination for night clubes Resturent ,surf point and coral reef .the apartment is very close to the public transport.bustop,railway station in doorstep.you can have sea bath,sea is away from just 2 mins.this place is very close with loads of decent bars. Top end of the beach is all about proper surfing points, where you can get surfing lessons and/or hire boards.There is can snorkelling and you can swim with fish as they are in the shallow water.It was refreshing and mildly surprising to find the idyllic and pristine natural beauty of the rathgama Lagoon only a ten-minute drive from the seaside hotels and pulsating nightlife of the lively tourist hub of Hikkaduwa. Home to a rich diversity of plants, insects, reptiles, birds and animals, as well as tranquil islets where Buddhist monks have retreated into meditative isolation, the Lagoon is best explored in boats.

The sky was overcast after a heavy shower of rain when we arrived in the village of Dodanduwa. Local villagers use their fishing boats to show tourists the peaceful charm and environmental wonder that is Dodanduwa Lagoon, also known as Rathgama Lagoon. Clambering into a narrow boat, we took our seats on the wooden boards and pushed off the bank and into the waters.

Two minutes into the boat ride, we could already feel the impression of the surroundings on our senses. Breaking the gently rippling grey-green waters, two islets rose into mounds of green, fluffy forest cover. Several Little Cormorants perched on rods and rocks emerging from the water. Some had their wings spread wide. Others left fleeting trails in the water as they prepared to take flight. Lining the edges of the Lagoon were lush growths of several species of mangroves in various shades of green. Above, patches of blue sky peeked through a canopy of ashen clouds. The wind was still crisp with the fresh smell of rain.

All this sensory information however, only enhanced what truly defined the spirit of the place: the sounds. At first it seemed that the only sounds that could be heard were the splash of oars in the water and the slapping of small waves against the boat. As we relaxed, lulled by these sounds and the light rocking movements of the boat, we became aware of the various birdcalls ranging from gentle coos to high-pitched screeches. A low mechanical hum in the distance, we were told, was a coir mill on the opposite bank. Underlying all of these sounds, natural and man-made, was that profound silence found only in nature.Rathgama Overkanda Surf Point, Rathgama

Rathgama is off Galle Road about 8 kilometers south of Hikkaduwa, 12km north of Galle. Overkanda Surf Point is an uncrowded, low power, left reef break. Can be 5ft on a good day and a 150m ride. The reef is quite deep so suitable for all levels. Some good sea food restaurants on the beach if you get food
