       Unawatuna is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Sri Lanka, and is the most “famous” beach in the country. It is a lovely banana-shaped beach of golden sand and turquoise water, surrounded with green palm trees!

It was the first beach we visited in Sri Lanka. We chose not to stay at one of the fancy and expensive hotels along the beach of Unawatuna, but a few kilometers away at a guesthouse. We walked to the Unawatuna Beach on two day trips.

The beach is popular with tourists, and part of the beach is occupied with sun beds for rent.

In the afternoons Sri Lankan families come to the beach to enjoy some swimming in the sun.

At the west end of the beach there are some rocks and stairs that lead up to a small hill with a pagoda and a big Buddha statue. It’s a nice little walk with a beautiful view overlooking the beach.

Unfortunately Unawatuna is not all paradise. The place was devastated by the tsunami in 2004, and the rebuilding was done in a hurry and many of the owners rebuilt their hotels and restaurants on the actual sand. The result is that half the beach is gone, and there is actually not that much sand left to play on. It´s a shame.

Behind the beach, in between palm trees, is Unawatuna center. It is basically one street full of small nice restaurants and shops selling souvenirs, clothes, water, jewellery and so on.

Unawatuna Beach is really beautiful, with great swimming, but not our favorite beach in Sri Lanka. Too busy with sellers and too crowded with tourists for our liking. I also got a jelly fish sting on my leg while swimming, which really hurt! That might also have something to do with me not loving this beach too much.

We really loved Mirissa Beach and Tangalla Beach, and we highly recommend going to these two beaches instead of Unawatuna if you are traveling to Sri Lanka and are in for some beach-time.
 
Where is it:
      Unawatuna – 150 km south of Colombo, on the west coast of Sri Lanka.
 
When to go:
      November to March (no rain).

How to get there:
      Bus or train from Colombo (2 hours). We took the express train to Galle, and then tuk-tuk to where we stayed.

What we did in Unawatuna:
      Enjoyed the beach, wandered around the small shopping street of Unawatuna, did some shopping, and watched the sunset.
