Unawatuna is a charming coastal town on Sri Lanka’s southern shores, famous for its crescent-shaped beach, swaying palm trees and relaxed atmosphere. This picturesque destination attracts both backpackers and families looking for sun, sand, and a taste of authentic Sri Lankan culture. Whether you want to unwind by the turquoise waters, taste fresh seafood, or explore hidden gems, Unawatuna promises the ideal tropical escape.

Brief History

Once a quiet fishing village, Unawatuna grew in popularity thanks to its pristine beaches and thriving coral reefs. Over the years, it has evolved into a much-loved tourist spot, while still preserving its local traditions and laid-back vibe.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to enjoy Unawatuna is from November to April, when the weather is sunny and the sea is calm — perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The monsoon months (May to September) bring more rain, but the area remains beautiful and less crowded.

Can you swim in the sea?

Yes, the bay is well-protected, so swimming is safe most of the year. Lifeguards are usually present during the high season, and there are several quiet spots along the beach.

Are there activities besides the beach?

Absolutely! You can visit Buddhist temples, go snorkeling or diving, book boat trips to see turtles, or discover nearby attractions like Galle Fort.
