Buthawa Beach

About Buthawa Beach

Buthawa Beach is a coastal stretch lying within the South East region of Sri Lanka, close to the town of Tissamaharama. Situated near the edge of Yala's protected landscapes, it offers a relatively quiet alternative to more frequented shores, drawing visitors who appreciate a sense of seclusion. The beach is typically accessed as a day excursion from Tissamaharama, which serves as the main base for travellers exploring this corner of the island. Visitors come principally to walk the shoreline, watch for coastal birdlife and enjoy the natural surroundings. The proximity to Yala National Park means the wider area retains a wild character, and those with an interest in wildlife often combine a beach visit with a game drive. Facilities remain limited, so visitors are advised to come prepared accordingly.
