Overview - Ahungalla Beach
Ahungalla Beach is a pristine sanctuary along Sri Lanka’s southern coast, celebrated for its wide, seemingly endless expanse of golden sand and towering coconut groves. Distinct from its busier neighbors, this coastal gem offers a tranquil atmosphere where the rhythm of the Indian Ocean takes center stage, making it a preferred destination for travelers seeking solitude and luxury. The beach is characterized by its broad shoreline, which provides ample space for long, undisturbed walks and spectacular views of the sunset melting into the horizon. While it serves as a gateway to nearby attractions like the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery and the Madu River, Ahungalla itself remains a peaceful haven. It is the perfect spot to unwind under the tropical sun, enjoy the sea breeze, and experience the serene elegance of island life away from the crowds.

Animal abuse, someone has a pet monkey here and he makes it perform tricks for humans. Saw him force it to high give a kid. Its disgusting behaviour and if you indulge this you should be ashamed of yourself

That’s the best beach in south eastern area . Yes there are some waves , but you can manage it. It’s super clean , lovely and endless . We travelled from east to south and were lucky to stay at most of the key touristic spots and beaches , but I’m definitely in love with Ahungalla beach
