Unawatuna, less than 5km?s southward around the coast of Galle, is a beach resort waiting to happen. Unawatuna and its surrounding beaches are very narrow, but with excellent snorkelling reefs. This 4km sweep of palm-fringed sand - said by some to rank amongst the twelve best beaches in the world - would no doubt already have gone the way of Beruwala, Bentota and Hikkaduwa. As it is, Unawatuna, even though no longer the well-kept secret of a handful of die-hard backpackers and divers, is still far from being over-developed. Attractions include sheltered waters for swimming, and an accessible, reasonably well-preserved coral reef for snorkeling. For scuba divers, there are several wreck dives only 20-30 minutes away from the beach by boat.
Jungle Beach is also one of Unawatuna?s best kept secrets. Just a short boat ride away towards Galle ploughing through choppy seas passing steep overhanging cliffs facing the sunset over the Indian Ocean you would get to this secluded stretch of beach with a shoreline on the edge of a patch of jungle.

Visitors Most Rated Property of the Sri Lanka ..
The most picturesque in the world. Soft sound of waves lapping in to the beach, endless strip of white sandy beaches.
Sri Lanka's famous historical sites have become the staple of many a travel programme - Sigiriya.
The Sri Lankan highlands enhance the country's richly-varied landscape. Only a few hours from the coast, here is a land of rushing waterfalls.
