Unawatuna Beach

Unawatuna is one of the most popular attractions in Sri Lanka. Unawatuna is a beautiful town in southern Sri Lanka, famous for its sandy beaches, historical sites that are connected to mythology, and it’s colorful coral reef that protects the Unawatuna beach. If you are a Beach lover then this is definitely the place to visit. The main Unwatuna bay boasts a spectacular beach with golden sandy shoreline and normally calm blue waves (except during the monsoon season from end April to end July), with restaurants and cafés lined up along the shores. This beach, located 7 kilometers (or a 20-minute drive) south of the ancient city of Galle and the legendary Gall Dutch Fort, is a popular place for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. On rare occasions, people who are fortunate enough may witness a big sea turtle laying eggs. The beach brings the local culture to life and is a terrific spot to cool off after a hot summer day by taking a plunge in the water. As a result, many Sri Lankan families will visit the beach for a refreshing afternoon dip. The beach is very bustling, with numerous stylish and modern restaurants and little booths selling a variety of merchandise and great cuisine. While strolling along the west side of the gorgeous beach, you can also see the iconic Japanese Peace Pagoda Statue. So with Aviyana Ceylon Tours go to the famed Unawatuna beach, bask in the beauty, and unwind with a nice and delicious beverage. This heightens the astounding views and provides scenic views from the shores. Glass bottomed boat rides are available for those who wish to observe the beautiful corals and underwater species without diving or snorkeling. The corals and shipwrecks attract diving enthusiasts from all over. In order to reach these wreck sites, divers will have to take a boat ride of 20-30 minutes. The ‘Ragoon’ and the ‘Lord Nelson’ are some of the shipwrecks close at hand.
