Rumassala ( Jungle Beach )

Nestled along the Rumassala Hill in Unawatuna, Rumassala South Beach is also renowned as the Jungle Beach. It is located very close to Galle-Matara’s main road.  This semi-hidden cove encompassed by lush jungle boasts a stunning coral reef that is situated just a few kilometres from the shore. And because of this, Rumassala South Beach acts as a Hubspot for snorkelling, swimming and sunbathing. There is also a small hilltop pagoda amid the jungle. Although the beach isn’t as big as the main beach in Unawatuna, Rumassala South Beach is usually crowded with locals and tourists. The Rumassala South Beach is rich in biodiversity and the reef acts as a protected sanctuary and serves as a major archaeological site. It is a well-known place for fishing and is also suitable for swimming.
