Sri Lanka, being the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, boasts a lot of amazing beaches. They are great for water adventures such as surfing, and this is why they are loved by travellers from all around the world. Even for relaxed holidaymakers, Sri Lankan beaches are heavenly as they offer the perfect peace of mind.
Explore the beaches in the south when you are in Sri Lanka during your next holiday. It's a beautiful geographical area in the country and the beaches add more colour to its beauty.
Ask someone in Sri Lanka about the most popular beach in the South, and they will surely say Unawatuna. Unlike many beaches in Sri Lanka, the beach in Unawatuna is well-maintained and it's also clean. Since the beach is surrounded by restaurants and bars, the dining and entertainment options that the beach offers are great, especially for foreign travellers. Forget not- this area also has some great nightlife events. Unawatuna Beach is great for snorkelling and whale watching. However, if you go there during the peak season, you'll have to expect large crowds (peak season falls from December to January).
Mirissa Beach is known for its eventfulness. There are events organized in the daytime, and the nighttime is even more amazing with lights, sounds and the cool sea breeze. You find many beach bars here, and every bar has some exclusive offers for you. For those who love beach adventures, Mirissa Beach offers great snorkelling experiences. And for those who want to do nothing, Mirissa Beach is also great to sit back and relax.
Unlike the beaches that were mentioned above, Koggala Beach is all about calmness. This is a great beach option if you like to spend some 'Me'time on your own, staying away from the crowds and chaos. However, you have some great bars, restaurants and hotels located within close vicinity. So you don't need to worry about accommodation and dining facilities. Keep in mind that this beach does not offer great bathing conditions as the waves are often too high.
Are you onto the best Instagram photo locations? Well, then... Dalawella Beach is the one for you! The waves, sand and palm trees are all designed to offer that postcard-perfect click, and all you need to do is get the maximum benefit of the same. You can go swimming here, as there is no risk. Dalawella Beach is also great for snorkelling, and during your snorkelling experience, you will surely meet some marine creatures such as turtles.
Have you ever heard of this beach before? No, right? Well, this is a secluded beach in Southern Sri Lanka, that is relatively small in size. The waves here are highly enjoyable, and yes, they offer great swimming moments. Don't plan to visit this beach by car. A scooter is an ideal option for you if you plan to explore the beauty of this secret beach.
If your plan for the next vacation is to get distant from the crowds, here's the ideal option for you. Visit Tangalle Beach which can surely be called a tropical paradise. There is a natural swimming pool here which is even safe for the kids.
Did you know that you can explore all the beaches in the South even during your vacation spent at Cinnamon Bentota Beach? It is one of the best luxury hotels in Bentota and offers very easy access to Galle, Matara, Tangalle and other areas in the Southern Province.
