This is the most beautiful beach I have been to. Paradise sandy cove, swimming, surfing, lovely relaxed but high quality local cafes and restaurants with lush gardens, monkeys and colourful birds. Unspoilt by commercialisation, no big hotels or busy roads nearby.

Absolutely loved this beach, the vibe, and the views. If you want to chill, swim, snorkeling or surf – this place is the right one. Away from crowds with a few places to eat, drink and get a sunbed. You can rent surfboards (very cheap) in here . There are 2 surfing areas: the main beach break (perfect for beginners) and a fast left wave in the Eastern side of the beach. I was surfing when green turtles popped up right under me! That was so unique. The vibe in the water is also incredible – people surfing here are very cheering and happy. No screaming or unnecessary competition for waves. It’s just perfect. So far my favorite beach in Sri Lanka ! The western side of the beach is very calm and no waves if you want to swim and snorkel.
Upon consuming something at the beach bar you can use the sunbeds without any extra charge (opposite to most places in Unawatuna, Dalawella or Mirissa).
