Hikkaduwa Lake, with its monitor lizards and numerous birds, makes for a pleasant excursion away from the beach. Boat tours can sometimes be organised on the lake; ask around. The lakeside hotel Kalla Bongo offers kayak hire if you are having lunch there. To get there head along Baddegama Rd for 2km, then turn north.
