Tangalle Beach

This is another dream beach just south of Sri Lanka. Tangalle is easily reached by train or bus from Galle and Matara. If you can, try to stay at least three days.

The trip to Sri Lanka is tiring and this is the ideal place to rest. In the morning, you will notice how the fishermen come in from their night of fishing with their wooden boats. Then they go to sell the fresh fish market next door.

You can ask your family in the guest house you buy a bit of fish for dinner, or you can even try to negotiate at the market yourself. From Tangalle there is plenty of transport out into the country and to the rest of the East Coast.
