Tangalle

Tangalle is proud of being an important fishing harbour because it is on one of Sri Lanka’s biggest bays and is protected from the ocean by a reef. This natural advantage makes Tangalle a popular place for tourists to visit and helps the local income through fishing. The old Dutch fort, which is now a jail, along with the Rest House and Court House, are important historical sites in the town. They are vivid reminders of its colonial past and give visitors a look into the Dutch and British periods of Sri Lankan history.

If you want to vacation in Tangalle, the best time is December to March or April. This is the best time to go to the beach to swim and snorkel because the weather is mostly dry and warm. On the other hand, it’s peak season so that the beaches will be packed with people. It is essential to know about Sri Lanka’s monsoon seasons. From May to September, the southwest monsoon affects the south and west; from October to January, the northeast monsoon affects the north and east.
