Relax on Tangalle’s palm-fringed shores
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival in Tangalle
Sri Lanka’s south coast is blessed with palm-fringed, tropical beaches and Tangalle is a Rickshaw favourite. This small fishing town has remained off the mass market tourism radar and you’ll find peaceful beaches and small coves. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Day 2 – Free time & Ayurvedic massage
The only thing we have planned for you today is a relaxing Ayurvedic massage – it’s a tough day! Tangalle has a large fishing fleet which lands on the beaches here. It’s a beautiful sight to watch the fishermen head out to sea in their brightly painted boats. You’ll have the chance to sample the freshest fish, brought in every morning by the local fishermen, in the hotel’s restaurant.
If the sea beckons you, there’s a small reef in the bays surrounding Tangalle which is ideal for a spot of snorkelling or diving. If you want to head out beyond the beach today, you could take a wander into the town where you can amble past the fishing harbour and pick up a bargain at the local market.
Day 3 – Departure from Tangalle
If you venture beyond the coast of Tangalle, you can find an extensive system of lagoons; the perfect place to explore the exotic world here, from tropical birds and turtles to monkeys and water monitor lizards.
After a few days of relaxation, it’s time to leave Tangalle and meet your driver as you head to your next destination. If two nights is too short, ask your Travel Specialist to add an extra night to your travel plan.
