If you are a beach lover, you know how much quiet beaches mean to you. So, if you visit Sri Lanka, do not forget the beach town "Tangalle" which has peaceful and charming beaches. But wait... this destination is not just about beaches, but many many more amazing charms!
What's the point of heading to a beach town if you are not willing to explore its beaches? So, when you go to Tangalle for a vacation, make sure you explore all its beaches. This town has a good number of beaches, but the most popular are Mediketiya Beach, Goyambokka Beach, and Silent Beach. Compared to the other beaches in Sri Lanka, these are less crowded, and you can surely enjoy the bliss that serenity brings when you are here.
Located around a 20min drive away from Tangalle, is Rekawa Beach. Here you find a turtle hatching spot, and you can see how this happens at night. This is an amazing experience to see, and not every place will offer you the same experience in Sri Lanka.
Needless to say, Sri Lankan cuisine has a different vibe. So, when you are in Tangalle, make sure you try out the local food instead of the dishes that you come across every day. Tangalle restaurants are also great for seafood dishes, so you may try out that as well. Fall in love with the Sri Lankan spices and if time permits, try out the local street food as well.
Have you ever heard that Sri Lankans are the greatest when it comes to hospitality? Well, during your vacation in Tangalle, you are sure to enjoy this at its best. You will love how the locals greet you with their lovely smiles and waves even though they do not know you. And if you ask anything from them, they will very politely and instantly respond to you and offer you help anytime.
Choose to spend your vacation at a good resort such as Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort and have a good rest amidst all their luxuries. Enjoy some spa moments and chase all your mental and physical stress away. If you want, you may also engage in some yoga activities by the beach and rejuvenate yourself in style.
Would you love to see how the locals spend their day? Then you will have to go around the city for a little observational tour. You may rent a bike or a scooter to enjoy this experience. If you are not confident enough, you may also try out the same experience in a tuk-tuk. Talk to the locals on your way and let them tell their stories to you.
Did you know that Tangalle is one of the best spots in Sri Lanka for divers? It's equally great for snorkelling because the waters are clear. Tangalle Lagoon is the ideal place for these moments, and you can explore shipwrecks, caves, and even coral tunnels in addition to the sea creatures during your diving moments here.
