Tangalle is a stretch of rugged coastline in the deep south of Sri Lanka, characterised by rocky headlands, hidden coves and wide-open beaches backed by thick jungle. Unlike the more developed resort beaches to the north, Tangalle retains a wild, unhurried quality that appeals to travellers seeking seclusion and natural beauty. The area is home to Rekawa Beach, one of the most important sea turtle nesting sites in Sri Lanka, where you can witness nesting green and loggerhead turtles on guided night walks.
