Tangalle

The resort town, a 20-minute drive from us, is located at the southern tip of the island of Sri Lanka and lies in a romantic bay. The entire coast here is lined with sandy beaches. In the area you will find plenty of shops and restaurants. Around Tangalle you can take a trip to the Hummanaya blow hole, see the Wewurukannala temple with the largest seated Buddha statue on the island, or the stunning rock monastery of Mulkirigala, which lies north of Tangalle.

Another point of interest is the Kalametiya bird sanctuary lying between Tangalle and the town of Hambantota. Tangalle is an ideal place to experience urban bustle and the life of local people. The markets in Tangalle are an interesting spectacle, a mixture of several kinds of fruit, vegetables, and spices. The bus stop looks chaotic at first glance, but it is managed by local route announcers. In the town you can also go to a local eatery for typical Sri Lankan food.
