Buthawa Beach

About Buthawa Beach

Buthawa Beach is a quiet coastal stretch situated in the south-eastern corner of Sri Lanka, within reach of the town of Tissamaharama. Like many beaches in this part of the island, it sits close to the wild landscapes associated with the Yala region, where the dry zone meets the sea. Visitors come to walk along the shore, watch the light change over the Indian Ocean, and enjoy a degree of seclusion that the more developed resort beaches of the west coast rarely offer. The surrounding area attracts those combining a beach stop with wildlife excursions to nearby national parks. Tissamaharama serves as the practical base for the area, offering accommodation, transport links and supplies for travellers exploring this less-visited southern stretch of coastline.
