Unawatuna is a rather calm place. Almost all entertainment are connected with the ocean and the beach, the nightlife is quite modest, and the place as a whole is suitable for a very calm leisure holiday. And so, how can you take in Unwattene.
Dzhangl Beach
Very beautiful place, you can say, in the jungle - a small lagoon with golden sand, bordered palm trees. There is some kind of a mystery, which is so manitis! Probably soft sand, sun beds and cafes with spent prices (you can eat fish or noodle). It is good to rest well with young children - the ocean is quite calm (calmer than on the Beach of Unawatuna), the shore is gently, under the trees you can hide from the sun. There are no views on open areas from the shore. Along the rocky shore you can swim from the mask. But there are obvious cons: tourists are sometimes brought to the beach, and these unscrupulous tourists often move the garbage from the boats directly into the water. Yes, and cafe workers could take care of the purity of the beach.So if you are engaged in snorkeling, do not be surprised that, in addition to fish, you will see at the bottom of the bottle and banks. On weekends, the crowds are going to Dzhangl Beach - they play, having fun, sometimes even drink - these days it's better not to appear here, because all the feeling of intimacy disappears. But on other days the beach, nevertheless, little (although, again, in the peak of the season will be closed). In general, it is very pleasant here and just take a walk from Unawatuna, at 4:30 pm (go for about 20-30 minutes for not very good road) - then you will have time for the sunset.
Beach Unawatuna
Great place for swimming and sunburn. Definitely, the Beach of Unawatuna picturesque: there are no special waves, it is safe to swim safely. The people are not so much, especially not in the season, but dogs and "parked" boats - abound. The beach is not very big, the sand is not the safest (but everything is not so bad, of course). Good place to relax with babies. Along the beach - a bunch of restaurants, souvenir shops; Pleasant view of the bay. Excursions are offered, snorkeling. The beach is quite clean, entering the water is quite gentle. Nearby is the road (separated by two rows of hotels), and from here it is easy to find the "secret" track to Dzhangl Beach. If you swing in the other direction, you will find the place of feeding the giant sea turtles. Many find that the Beach of Unawatuna is much better than Dzhangl Beach.Mihriphenna Beach
A small beach with light sand, raveling waves and sun beds is near Unavatuna (3 kilometers from it, to be more accurate - towards the matara). Beach is stunning - he, by the way, is more known as Vijaya Beach . This is quite a good place to stay with children. Driving from Unawatuna on Tuk Tuka usually costs about 250-300 rupees, but by bus you can get in just 10 rupees. There you can just swim in a natural pool, ride waves, swim without waves. You can climb on the rocks, jump from Tarzanka (attached to the palm), and there are still a few cute cafes, parking for bikes and bicycles next to the restaurant. Sunbeds are a bit - in any case they will have to be leased for about 500 rupees, but in fact you can quite do without them. The water of the beach off the coast of the beach is incredibly clean, and swimming a little away, you can see the flocks of fish and dive with the mask. This beach is quiet and calm, the people are more often very small, but, by the way, this beach is wider than the other beaches of the town. But it is worth remembering that this beach is a place of fishermen, and they catch here in a traditional way, from stuck sticks and with the help of fishing lines, so do not swim away (although it is not so easy to accomplish).
Culinary workshops
The traditional Lankan cuisine is definitely exotic and unusual for any Russian. Learn some secrets of making delicious local dishes can be quite interesting. For those interested in culinary tourists in Unawatun there are special courses. For example, you can contact "Sonja's HealthFood Restaurant" (on Wella Dewala Rd).
One-day cooking courses of traditional cuisine led by a beautiful cook named Karuna and with a row to Galle's market (enters the price), where, together with the chef, students choose "Right Products". This, by the way, is also a very entertaining process. You need to book courses at least in advance in advance. Courses are from 3000 rupees per person.
Groups, as a rule, small, for example, 6 people (maybe less). Prepare from 6 to 9 different dishes. When the food is ready, everyone sites to try their masterpieces. Approximately the same lessons of culinary skills are offered in SRI Lankan Cooker Class (on Yaddehimulla Road).
Diving
While snorkeling can be done independently, renting a mask at least at the hotel, to diving you need to prepare in a special way. Dive schools in Unawatun a lot, because places for dives in the vicinity of complete-full (and not only coral reefs, but also sunken ships). The most popular school on the coast - SUBMARINE DIVING SCHOOL (http://www.submarinediving.center), located on Devala RD, located next to Sea View Deepal Villa: experienced, qualified dive instructors with good knowledge, good prices.
Not inferior in the number of satisfied customers and the company "SEA HORSE DIVERS" (http://www.seahorsedivinglanka.com) - perhaps, here the lowest prices for immersion, while the quality of equipment and competence and friendliness of workers are not lost at all. You can contact them Sun Diving Srilanka (http://sundivingsrilanka.com), the center of which is also on Devala Road, or in "Unawatuna Diving Center" (296 Matara Road, http://www.unawatunadive.com). Not bad comments from tourists get such a company as "Divers Land Dive Club" (http://divers-land.com, Matara Road), cheap take in "Unawatuna Ocean Dive Center" (http://www.oceandive.asia/wordpress/). But to the dive centers "Pearl Divers" and "Whale Watching Safari" The attitude among tourists is somewhat dual.
Spa salons
You can not go to Sri Lanka and not to go into any spa. Massage will offer you on the beach, and in the salons. One of the most popular massage salons - "The Sanctuary Spa" (136 Beach Road): Massage makes outdoors, in special rooms, clean and neat. Do not take pleasant discounts in the season (can throw up to 500 rupees). And so - about 3200-3300 rupees for the massage course (however, you can always demand a discount). Try here the same anomdic massage. You can look at the same case in "CARPE DIEM MASSAGE CENTER" (on Yaddehimulla Road, behind Neptune Bay Hotel) and "Ayurveda Sri Lanka Spa" (Dewala Road, with Palitha Guest House).
