Verified traveller

I personally didn't like Unawatuna. We have been a month in Sri Lanka amd there's plenty of beautiful and relaxed beaches without the high rise buildings and pretentious resorts. There's some nice restaurants and you can day trip to Fort Galle.

5/5 - Excellent

Beautiful beach with plenty of food and drink outlets right on the sand. Sheltered and good for swimming.
