User reviews

"This beach is peaceful with a refreshing sea breeze, located near the Matara-Galle main road. It's the perfect spot for reading a book, cycling, or taking a leisurely walk with loved ones. There are benches for your comfort, and it's conveniently close to the "Madol Duva" boat safari and local restaurants serving delicious food. I highly recommend this location for nature lo..."
