Of course, I highly recommend following our itinerary and getting to the center for the culture and scenery. Most of the beaches are wild, with huge waves and impressive palm trees surrounding them. They are not crowded at all and there are beaches to suit all tastes, with plenty of activities, the most common being surfing. And the Indian Ocean water is very warm, with waves for all swimmers and extremely rich marine life<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00{margin:-7.5px;}.kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item{padding:7.5px;}.kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00 .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-1727_3b783f-00{overflow:visible;}.kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00 .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}.kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00 .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-1727_3b783f-00 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-grid kb-gallery-id-1727_3b783f-00 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"2\" data-columns-xl=\"2\" data-columns-md=\"2\" data-columns-sm=\"2\" data-columns-xs=\"1\" data-columns-ss=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:768px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" style=\"padding-bottom:133%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_6205-768x1024.webp\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_6205.webp\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_6205.webp\" data-id=\"1370\" class=\"wp-image-1370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_6205-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_6205-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_6205-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_6205-9x12.webp 9w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_6205.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:768px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" style=\"padding-bottom:133%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7248-768x1024.webp\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7248.webp\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7248.webp\" data-id=\"1476\" class=\"wp-image-1476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7248-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7248-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7248-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7248-9x12.webp 9w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7248.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did we get here and how long did we stay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After an extremely busy week full of culture and adventures, we decided to dedicate our last 7 days to relaxing at the beach.

But here I caught an activity of the locals that I never thought I'd have the chance to see: we caught them collecting the freshly caught fish and bringing it to the beach, and the boat left for the next round of fishing. There were the two of us and probably the whole village nearby! I loved it so much that I didn't even look at the beach anymore, I was super attentive to the people, how they interacted. It's very close to the <strong>Rekawa beach<\/strong>, but I don't know how often it happens what we caught, but you can heed the recommendation at least for a quiet

PARADISE! I felt at home, I was very local, especially on the beaches mentioned.<br><br>As areas: I highly recommend the Tangalle area, it was gorgeous, prices extremely decent, food fresh and tasty (the fish was amazingly well cooked) and really clean on the beach compared to what we found on the streets or in the tea plantations.<br><br>I loved the accommodation in Unawatuna, especially because it was like being in the jungle, we had cats, monkeys, squirrels, lots of birds and huge lizards. But as for the beaches...very, very commercial everything. We went to two nearby beaches and didn't like them at all: too touristy, very high prices, you paid one price for scooter parking at 9am one price and at 12 noon it was double that...the turtles were extremely stressed because the tourists were like a zoo on them, the food left something to be desired. Maybe better pick Mirissa or somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70{margin:-7.5px;}.kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item{padding:7.5px;}.kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70 .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-1727_20f0b6-70{overflow:visible;}.kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70 .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}.kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70 .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-1727_20f0b6-70 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-grid kb-gallery-id-1727_20f0b6-70 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"2\" data-columns-xl=\"2\" data-columns-md=\"2\" data-columns-sm=\"2\" data-columns-xs=\"1\" data-columns-ss=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370.webp\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370.webp\" data-id=\"1823\" class=\"wp-image-1823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2370.webp 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377.webp\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377.webp\" data-id=\"1824\" class=\"wp-image-1824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_2377.webp 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me tell you which one I liked the most...actually I have a top 3<br><br><strong>3 &#8211; <\/strong>Silent beach - wild and authentic<br><strong>2<\/strong> - Tangalle beach - first impact with the fascinating beaches from here and the most beautiful sunrise we have ever seen<br><strong>1<\/strong> - Goyambokka Beach - because we had super fun body-boarding like 2 kids and it was more about us<br><br>But Tangalle and Goyambokka are two beaches I would definitely go back to!
