If you love the beach but would prefer it to be quieter and a lot more relaxing, Tangalle is definitely the place for you! Here’s everything you need to know about the beachside town.
Best Tangalle Beaches
Goyambokka Beach
Hop into a tuk-tuk from your hotel and head down to Goyambokka Beach, a place bustling with activity that comes with a stunning view.
Silent Beach
If crowded areas aren’t really your preference, walk over to the beach next door, the Silent Beach, where there isn’t a soul around most of the time, with beautiful white sand and turquoise waters, this is arguably one of the best beaches in the country.
Medakatiya Beach
A good beach in its own right, but does not quite compare to the others. It is still a great place to be in, with restaurants that are not too busy.
Turtle Hatching in Rekawa Beach
A 20-minute ride from Tangalle, this is the place to be if you want to see turtles hatching their eggs. Turtles come ashore to the place they were born to lay eggs, and then return to the sea. It is a fascinating sight that is highly recommended.
Hotels in Tangalle
Tangalle Hotels are scattered across its beaches so that visitors are just a short walk away from their place of stay and the white sands. Resorts such as Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort are right on the edge of Goyambokka Beach, and you will have a spectacular view of the ocean to wake up to.
