Sri Lanka may not be at the top of the world’s tourist destination list, but those of whom that have visited or heard or visited her shores will testify that the island paradise has some of the best beaches in the world. A recent feature by the Discovery channel proclaimed that the island’s Unawatuna beach as being the best beach in the world, while Arugambay also mentioned quite notably. The beaches of Sri Lanka are all fairly unique, with each possessing a distinct variety of attributes. Most people visit Lankan beaches to surf some waves, or indulge in some night-life, but for those who seek serenity and tranquility amidst a tropical wonderland, then there’s a special beach just for you.
That beach is located in the un-crowded coastal town of Tangalla, and is ideal for a relaxing holiday away from metropolitan chaos and the glitzy debauchery coastal nightlife. Tangalla bay is a truly serene location, devoid of the presence of watersports, but replaced with a calm and picturesque stretch of beach with golden shores surrounded by lush green. The accommodation in Tangalle also compliments the serenity of the area, such as the Anantara Tangalle Peace Haven Resort. If you’re thinking of things to do, Tangalle has a variety of places you can visit. The Tangalle town is situated on a projecting rock, and despite being a busy fishing-harbor, manages to retain an aura of peacefulness. If one were to visit the town, one can easily observe the wonderful buildings that are reminiscent of the Dutch colonial times. One can also visit the nearby villages to catch a glimpse of typical life in Tangalle, and gather a few souvenirs by visiting the many markets that scattered around the area.
So if you’re looking for a lazy vacation where you can relax in the grips of paradise on calm beaches amidst a picturesque tropical background, look no further than Tangalle.
