Hiriketiya - Palm-Fringed Bay - Travel Print
Framed here is Hiriketiya's horseshoe bay on Sri Lanka's southern coast, its pale sand curving beneath a fringe of coconut palms. Weathered rocks scatter the foreground, the turquoise ocean rolling in beyond, while lush green foliage frames the scene under a soft, hazy sky.
A soothing piece for surfers, beach wanderers and anyone drawn to the easy rhythm of tropical shores.

Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
Hiriketiya, a horseshoe bay folded into the southern coast of Sri Lanka, unfolds like a secret kept by palm and jungle. Here the Indian Ocean curls into a perfect crescent, and the rhythm of the tide sets the pace for everything else.
Paddle out at the point, where surfers read the swell rolling in from open water, or swim the calm centre where fishing boats once anchored. Climb the headland trail for views over Hiriketiya's curve, then wander inland toward Dickwella, where coconut palms lean toward the sea and rice paddies stretch beyond the dunes. As dusk settles, the bay glows amber, silhouetting longtail boats against the horizon.
Beyond the sand, life moves slowly and well. Cafés serve fresh hoppers, coconut sambol, and the day's catch grilled with lime. Nearby, the road to Mirissa carries whispers of whales offshore, while temple bells drift faintly from the hills. Evening falls softly over Hiriketiya, the sea turning silver beneath a canopy of stars.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
