The Town Of Unawatuna, Southern Province
A seashore dotted with thousands of trees, coconuts, and palms dominating, strings of houses and hermitages along the coastline, human beings and superior beings such as Gandharvas, Siddhas, and ascetics, living in them and countless bejewelled celestial nymphs thronging the shore, the coast intermittently visited by heavenly beings, Gods and demons. ~ The Ramayana
In 2004, Unawatuna was rated among the world’s top 10 beaches and the village was crammed with foreign tourists celebrating Christmas and locals celebrating their poya (full moon) day when the Tsunami struck at 9.26 am
Our Stay on Unawatuna Beach
Dalawela beach
A beach with large rocks and rope swings which hang off the palm trees 2 km away from the main Unawatuna beach.
The food
We binged on the Sri Lankan prawn curry and the Brazilian passion fruit.
