Oru Fishing Boat, Dickwella Beach.
Dickwella Beach is good for watersports, at most seasons of the year. The beach is uncrowded. The local fishermen are very friendly and willing to take you out fishing or snorkelling. They may even take you spear fishing for cuttlefish! (October/November) The local inshore fishermen use the traditional oru canoes or small motor boats.
The waves are usually excellent for bodyboarding although always take advice from the local fishermen. We have some bodyboards available for hire. Standing surf boards may be hired from Dickwella Beach Hotel by the hour or you are welcome to bring your own.
