User reviews

"The beach is absolutely stunning, but it seems to be less popular among tourists lately. Nonetheless, it's an amazing destination for anyone who visits Lanka Patuna Beach, and it's perfect for spending quality time with loved ones. If you're in the area and visiting the Smudragiri Viharaya, don't miss out on the opportunity to check out this incredible beach."

Nirav Patel

"The beach is a serene haven that is perfect for a visit. I had the pleasure of exploring this hidden gem before the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is not widely known to many people. As a result, the environment is pristine and unspoiled, making it one of the cleanest beaches I have ever had the pleasure of visiting."
