Wadduwa is a coastal village located close to the town of Kalutara. Its name is derived from the Sinhala phrase “Weda Doova”, which translated to “the land of local doctors”. It has been nourished culturally from Kalutara to the North of it, and adventure-wise from Galle to the South. Thus, it is the perfect place to go if you are looking for a beach vacation sans the crowd and the hyperactivity.
There are plenty of things to do in Wadduwa. Of course, you could have a little nap on the beach under the hot sun, or take a dip in the ocean. But when it comes to water sports, Wadduwa is well-known for windsurfing. The waves are a perfect balance of swells and smooth waters, and the wind is constantly whistling all over the area. This makes it the ideal place to get yourself on board a craft, and sail away into the Indian Ocean, to twist and turn with the wind as your guide. Ask a resort like Club Suites by Blue Water who have been around some time about where to find local toddy, and treat yourself to this sour-sweet alcoholic beverage made locally after an hour two at the sea. That would be the perfect way to wind down.
The sea at Wadduwa is not clear enough for snorkelling, or rough enough for surfing. Yet it is perfectly alluring in its own way and is ideal to take a boat out for a ride. You will be able to see local fishermen depending on the time of the day. However, it is necessary that you are cautious in having your fun; Wadduwa is a very active fishing village, and you would not want to do anything that could hinder the day to day earning of the local people.
