A sheltered bay, ten minutes from the fort.
The bay at Unawatuna curves tightly enough that the reef takes the force out of the ocean, which makes it one of the few genuinely safe swimming beaches on the south coast for most of the season.
The Japanese Peace Pagoda on the headland is worth the short climb for the view back over the bay, and Jungle Beach on the far side rewards anyone willing to walk twenty minutes.
It pairs naturally with Galle. Most of our guests base themselves here and drive into the fort for the evening.
