Tropical fish and colourful coral are high on the priority list for many a tourist here – but we at Beach Tomato HQ love that it's also a great beach for catching a wave or two. There's also an awesome music festival called Hikkafest held on the beach every July and August – cool DJs plus great surf. Hikkaduwa beach lies 3.5 hours south-west of the capital, Columbo. Simply hop on a public bus – they're frequent, very cheap, but busy – so be prepared to stand!

Now I know why I dont visit our seaside towns. They are full of tack ,run down,junk food,litter

dirty beaches and poluted sea water.

On top of that for 11 months+ in the year the weather is horrendous

Why with our poor quality of life  in the Uk is there anyone still here?

this is not Sugar Beach, this is Boracay. Sugar Beach's sand looks like brown sugar, which dries in white patches that look like white sugar, hence the name. We were there last March, beautiful place.

What about the beautiful beach in Palanga,Lithuania?Hot summers and stretches of Dunes and pine forest,if not for the cold Baltic Sea then Palanga in Lithuania would have to be the best beach for me,look it up, Palanga,Lithuania.

YES ALL VERY GOOD BEACHES.  I GREW UP IN ST BRELADES BAY JERSEY SO IT WAS MY PLAYGROUND. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO BETTER IT. DISAPPOINTED THAT IT IS ONLY NUMBER 10 THOUGH.
