Unawatuna is placed on a bay, protected by a reef, so the waves nevner become as big as on the open beach-stretches along the coast of Sri Lanka. There are many small resaurants along the beach, and the small road that lead from the main road all the way to the temple in the end.

Unawatuna is the most popular beach resort on the Sri Lankan south coast, but that still means that it is not so bad when it comes to crowds. The village is in a beautiful bay with palm trees and a handful of beach resorts. Thanks to the protection that the bay offers, you can swim well in the rough sea here. Dozens of restaurants and bars adorn the roads to and along the beach and the beach is also illuminated at night. Unawatuna is one of the more touristy places, but it certainly also exudes cosiness. You can also surf, snorkel, dive and kite surf around Unawatuna. Travel tips Unawatuna – Do you know the photos of the famous pole fishermen in Sri Lanka? Sitting patiently on a large wooden stick stuck among the rocks, they are waiting patiently for their catch. The real pole fishermen are almost extinct. The 2004 tsunami played a major role in this; much of the coral just before the coast has been destroyed, which means that fishermen have to go further into the sea to catch fish. But to the east of Unawatuna, between Unawatuna and Koggala, you can sometimes see some pole fishermen. Often they are mainly there for tourists to show their old tradition and a small tip is greatly appreciated in exchange for a photo. – You can sail from Unawatuna in 30 minutes to Jungle Beach, a beach that lies between the jungle and the sea. This unspoilt part of nature attracts few tourists and is very worthwhile.
