Tranquil beaches on the south coast
A meandering stretch of rugged cliffs and beautiful sandy bays on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, all protected by a vast enclosing reef, you’ll find a collection of the island’s best beaches and a small collection of blissful resorts west of Tangalle.
The waters are a wonderful place for surfing, diving, whale watching or simply lounging alongside. You may find yourself sharing the low key sands with Green, Loggerhead, Leatherback, Olive Ridley and Hawksbill turtles, the area being a vitally important nesting site.
The town itself, a sleepy fishing port, is home to an old Dutch fort and courthouse, while a little further north inland you’ll find verdant rice fields and Mulkirigala Raja Maha Vihara rock temple, an ancient Buddhist temple that is richly decorated and a site of immense national importance. Head inland a little more and Tangalle is within easy reach of Udawalawe and Lunugamvehera National Parks.
