Visit the coastal town of Tangalle, a jewel among the cities in the Hambantota District, famed for its alluring beaches, mild climate and idyllic tourism hotspots. Here’s a simple travel guide to lead you through your Tangalle expedition.
Reaching Tangalle
Tangalle is home to several Sri Lanka luxury resorts. Therefore, it is vital to be aware of how to reach your lodging at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort. Once reaching Matara by train, there will be no more railway tracks southwards, and therefore, the ideal mode of transportation to Tangalle would be by bus from Mirissa (one hour), Galle (two hours) or Ella (over four hours).
Dining to Your Heart’s Content
Dining in Tangalle is quite simple and most certainly a delicious affair. While the many hotels and resorts in the vicinity will offer local and international cuisine, be sure to choose some mouth-watering Sri Lankan dishes that include seafood to experience authentic flavours. You will also be able to discover several independent restaurants that serve fine seafood.
Exploring the Shores
A vacation in Tangalle would not be complete without some action on the beach. The town is home to golden sandy beaches that are second to none, and an evening stroll by the ocean or a simple winding down session onshore to witness the glorious sunset will be worthwhile. Therefore, be sure to step out of your accommodation and savour the ocean at its best.
Places to See
As Tangalle is home to a coastal line and tropical woodlands by the beach, the activities and sites worth visiting are many. Some of the most beloved sites in Tangalle worth visiting are the mangroves, Tangalle Navy Monument, Silent Beach, Mulkirigala Rajamaha Viharaya, Tissamaharama Stupa, Goyambokka Beach and Wewurukannala Rajamaha Viharaya.
