Nestled around a curved bay near Galle, Unawatuna is known for its palm-fringed beach and sheltered coastal setting. Its waters are popular for swimming and snorkelling, while the nearby Japanese Peace Pagoda adds another point of interest to explore. Unawatuna is also ideally positioned for combining beach time with the heritage of nearby Galle. The best period for enjoying the southern coast is generally from November to March or April, when the weather is drier and the seas are calmer.
