Tangalle Beach

1 of 6

It's worth visiting here if you want to spend some time in a peaceful, slow rhythm: walk barefoot on the soft sand and breathe in the fresh sea breeze. The biggest benefit of this location is that no one will bother you while you enjoy the unending natural beauty! You won't see another soul on some stretches of the beach... Isn't this a dream come true for a couple or even a single person looking to disconnect from the outside world?

The beach is located in the country's southern region, in the village of the same name, near Matara and 230 kilometers from the island's airport.

It is a major fishing port in the country, and it was formerly, therefore the Dutch and British colonial influences may be seen in the port's look.

Strong waves can be seen along the entire length of the beach, and there are slippery stones in many spots (but not all), so enter the water carefully and in short steps. On the beach, there is a stone barrier that provides a shallow-depth "paddling pool" without waves. Swimming with children is permitted in this location, however there are very few tourists who do so. Basically, these are couples in love who want to disconnect from the outside world for a few days.
