About Tangalle
Tangalle is where the south coast thins out: a fishing town with a working harbour and a run of bays east and west of it that stay far emptier than Mirissa or Unawatuna. Some are reef-protected and swimmable, others take the open Indian Ocean swell directly, and the difference matters when planning a session.

Working fishing boats and nets, best at first light when the fleet comes in.
