ocean question
Hello! We want to fly to Sri Lanka. But I heard that the minus there is the ocean. They say that sometimes they are not even allowed to swim, they hang out flags. They even recommend specific resort areas where the ocean is more calm. I would like to get advice. Thanks in advance.

We rested in April, so the red flags were also fun there - swimming is prohibited! But our people bathe. They say that swimming in the ocean is officially allowed, with the colors of the flags allowed, in December-January. The waves are big, so you won’t go deep, and it’s problematic to swim, just jump on the waves. But it's also great! The advantage of the ocean is that it is very warm.

The question is when do you want to fly. In November, the same is quite possible to wallow in the ocean. But you still need to look at the flags. It's not stupid people who post them.

it all depends on when you are going to go, from November to April there is a good ocean in the southwest (beruwala bentota) now in the east (trinkomale) although you can also swim well in beruwala day after day.

You have to be very careful with the ocean.
Choose hotels in the bays, where the waves are much smaller.

The ocean in Lanka is not a minus, but a huge plus! Everything is connected with it (both historically and practically).
And in terms of swimming and admiring the ever-changing picture of the waves - Lanka is just a fantastic place.
This summer, both groups with whom we were on the island stayed for a week in coastal hotels in Beruwala and Hikkaduwa. And they swam for pleasure, jumped on the waves, admired the openwork foam on the sand and snow-white lambs ...
It is important to carefully enter (sideways) and out of the water, do not panic if the water is flooded, and remember that the waves are different ...
Try to get into the water first with someone who already has experience in swimming in the ocean, and you will soon realize that without the ocean, the impressions of this island rich in impressions will not be complete.
In November, swimming is good on the western and southern coasts - in Kalutara, Beruwala, Bentota, Hikkaduwa, Kosgod, Unawatuna, Weligama, Mirissa, Divkell.
When choosing a hotel, you can rely on this list of the best beaches on the island.
Have a nice vacation!
