After years of heading to the Galle/Unawatuna/Weligama trifecta and with the additional help of a completed highway, I made my way to the insta-famous horse-shoe bay of Hiriketiya.
Weligama is our favorite morning surf spot with waves that are relatively mild and consistent for beginner surfers or those brushing up on their skills before heading to more advanced spots around the Island.
Tucked away on the hillside north of Unawatuna beach is the impressive Japanese Peace Pagoda. It also offers incredible views towards Galle Fort and is the perfect place to take in the always impressive Sri Lankan sunsets.
