Latest reviews on Galle's beaches

Jungle Beach
2 Mateusz Kowalski

While enjoying our time on the beach under a tree, a nearby bar employee approached us and asked if we wanted to order anything. When we declined, he became aggressive and insisted that we leave the area, claiming it was his private property (rented from the government) and that he needed to clean the space urgently. He even waved a large rake around our bodies. We do not recommend supporting this kind of behavior by purchasing items from the bar on the right side of the beach (when facing the ocean) or renting snorkeling equipment from them.

Abimanagama Beach
10 Nimzo21

This nice beach has crystal-clear waters and immaculate sands, creating an idyllic setting for a day of relaxation and sunbathing. However, during the off-season, visitors may find that the nearby cafe is closed, limiting their options for refreshments. The waves here are truly breathtaking, providing a mesmerizing sight for all who visit. It's worth noting that without a bike, accessing the beach can be somewhat challenging. Nonetheless, the lack of crowds and boats make it an ideal spot for those seeking some peace and quiet while taking in the nice scenery.

Ashen's Beach

The seafood fried rice only has two prawns, while the rest is fish. The egg is delicious, but everything else is just average.
