As an island, Sri Lanka is surrounded by beaches, and there really is something for everyone. For a diverse range of beach experiences, head to the Tangalle area. It’s in the center of the southern coast of the island and a popular resort destination.
You”ll find a wide range of beaches in this area, from tropical coves to wide, windswept, seemingly endless stretches of open sand. You can also find beaches with services, vendors, and beachfront stands, as well as remote beaches where you’re almost certain to find yourself alone.
At Rekawa Beach, just east of the town, there’s a big sea turtle nesting area and conservation center.
