What our travelers think of their stay
Unawatuna is an excellent tropical beach, at the foot of lush jungle, with its ocean floor covered with coral.
My suggestion
If you get tired of the beach, don't hesitate to hire a two-wheeler and visit the surrounding area, particularly the Galle fortress a few kilometres away.

My suggestion
Half a day is enough time to spend enjoying the beach, which does get just a little too busy. However, Unawatuna represents a good option if you want to spend some time lounging around and taking things easy and visit Galle Fort on the same day.
