What the Drive Is Like
Roads
Airport highway to Colombo, then Southern Expressway (E01) to Matara, and a short stretch of the A2 coastal road east to Dikwella. The expressway section is smooth dual carriageway with tolls; the final A2 leg is two-lane coastal road through small towns.
Scenery
Lowland coconut and rubber on the expressway, then the coast appears near Galle. From Matara the A2 passes rocky headlands, sandy beaches, and fishing settlements before reaching Dikwella. Hiriketiya, a small cove near Dikwella, has become a known surf and swim spot.
★ Travel Tips
