A growing fishing town on the south coast, Dickwella has a long beach sheltered by reefs and headlands, making it great for swimming in the ocean. It is also home to Sri Lanka’s largest statue of the seated Buddha, which attracts many visitors. Around 10km from Dickwella lies Mawella, where the world’s second-largest blow hole can be found. Water spouts out of these geysers high over the rocks, making for a captivating sight.
