Wander through the Tangalle Market
Tangalle Market is a colourful and exotic place brimming with fresh local produce and a wide variety of freshly caught fish. Mingle and mix with the locals and experience the laid-back rhythm and charm of the local community. Round off your visit with a jaunt to the harbour, a spot which makes some great photo-ops.
Catch Some Waves
