Description
Unawatuna Lagoon, nestled just a short distance from the popular Unawatuna Beach in Sri Lanka’s Southern Province, is a serene natural haven known for its calm waters, mangrove forests, and abundant biodiversity. The lagoon is surrounded by lush greenery, creating a tranquil atmosphere ideal for relaxation and eco-exploration. Visitors often enjoy canoeing or paddleboarding across the smooth surface of the water, where they can observe colorful bird species, water monitors, and even glimpses of tropical fish beneath the mangrove roots. The mangrove ecosystem here plays a vital role in protecting the coastline, filtering water, and providing shelter for a wide variety of marine life. For nature lovers, a boat ride through the lagoon is a must, offering a peaceful escape from the busier coastal strip while showcasing Sri Lanka’s delicate wetland ecosystems. Fishermen from nearby villages also depend on the lagoon for their livelihood, adding cultural value to the area. Easily accessible from Galle and Unawatuna town, the lagoon is a perfect half-day trip for travelers seeking a blend of adventure and tranquility. Whether you’re a birdwatcher, a photographer, or simply looking to immerse yourself in nature, Unawatuna Lagoon provides a unique and memorable experience in southern Sri Lanka.
