Sun, sea and surf are what draw the crowds to Ahangama beach. And this 5km stretch of golden sands is not only a surfers’ paradise, but also makes a great away-day for locals to escape the city crowds. Lying between the tourist hotspots of Galle and Matara, it is ideal for novice and expert surfers alike, the best-known beach breaks being Lazy Left (Midigama), the Rock (Kabalana), Plantation and Rhams.
Galle is so heavily imbued with Sri Lankan history and culture, and not a little ancient and modern controversy, that it is difficult to know where to start. The obvious place is Gall Fort, and the fact that this amazing and picturesque walled township is a UNESCO World heritage site of rare distinction and diversity.
