Ahungalla Sri Lanka

Ahungalla is a small village on the south-western coast, about 15 km south of Bentota and 40 km north of the provincial capital, Galle. It is famous for its sandy beach, fringed by a wide belt of palm trees, and is considered one of the most beautiful on the island. A worthwhile trip is a visit to the turtle farm in the nearby village of Kosgoda. The railway line to the south runs close to the shoreline, and in some hotels you can hear the trains as they pass. Especially during the rainy season, the surf is often very strong and the sea is not suitable for swimming. The best time to visit the south-west coast is from November to April. You can get there by overland transfer from Colombo (Bandaranaike Airport).
