Sri Lanka's legendary curved Unawatuna Bay, with its shallow water reef protection, offers excellent swimming conditions. Many tourists believe that Unawatuna beach is the best in Sri Lanka. The beach at the far end near the Vella Devala Temple has shallow waters throughout the year, even during the monsoon season from May to October. Children can safely swim in this place at almost any time of the year.
Unawatuna is 140 km south of Colombo. The distance to the main city of the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Galle, is only 5 km.
